It's odd because my photo #94 is linked by photobucket. I refused to pay their extortion and decided to let the links expire. I linked tons of photos to these car forums, but it's not worth 500/year for me to keep them up since my heirs will certainly not keep it up. Anyway, I had bought a cheap (based on capacity and bandwidth) subscription, I think it was $20/year starting in 14 when I posted a boatload of photos for the Ford GT Forum rally and exceeded my bnadwidth. They kept it active until the renewal and then said it would be cut off if I didn't renew at the exorbitant rate which I did not do . But links still seem to work. But maybe it's just the way I'm "logged in". So the question is, can you see the pic?

If you are talking about the pic in post #94- yes, I can see it.

And I like it!

Found some pictures of CSX2196 at Sebring in 1964. Here Ken Miles is leading AJ Foyt's Corvette...

....and here's Miles still leading the Corvette...

....and here's Miles again, sideways, Sebring '64.
Oops, no, it's a GTO wearing the same three air vents as Mile's Cobra

Cheers,
Glen

A few pics I have gathered over the years of Flip Top, These have all been posted on this sitebefore, but some obviously are from many years ago. if Ive broken a rule let me know & I'll remove. Some refuse to load, way beyond my skills to work out why.

I haven't seen these pics of 2196 before, JM, so thanks for posting them

Cheers,

Great pics Jac Mac. Any idea of the years these pics were taken. I'm guessing early to mid 1990's.

How can we help you with the other pics?

You could e-mail them to me and I could post them for you.

I'll PM you with my e-mail address.

Cheers
Greg

In this pic that I had posted I can identify some of the people:

Shelby on the right

Lew Spencer to Shelby's right

Maybe Joan Sherman (with her back to camera) Shelby's secretary, girl friend, later wife

The other three don't know.

Neat cars. Possibly Bird Cage Maserati hiding in the garage behind the Cadillac

Cheers
Greg.

Shelby is wearing a collar and tie, which is unusual unless he's in England.

It's raining, so that suggests England, not California.

Looks like a Jag XK150 at the side, and maybe a Morgan in the background. Did many Morgans make it stateside?

BUT....there's what looks like a Cadillac (1950-ish?) in the shed....and that makes the English location unlikely

Just chewing the fat....
