[Don]

The article mentioning the collection is in the current edition of MotorSport

" The Klemantaski Collection is one of the world's largest and most varied libraries of historic motorsports and motor racing photography. The Collection supplies its images to photograph and car collectors and enthusiasts, racing car restorers, authors and publishers worldwide. The Collection also offers a selection of limited edition publications which include many of its most famous images. "

" The Klemantaski Collection consists of over 500,000 motor racing and related automotive photographs and is one of the largest and most varied libraries of its kind anywhere in the world. The Collection is based on two major archives. The first includes all of the motor racing images taken by the famous photographer Louis Klemantaski during his long and active career from 1936-1974. There are some 60,000 Klemantaski images in the Collection. Most of these are black and white, but there are a significant number of photos in color, including some from the prewar Grand Prix events.

I've purchased a photo or two from the collection. They are not cheap, but they are very nice.

Dave Friedman also has a bunch of good stuff, but I hear that he sold a good chunk of them, and he is a real PITA to deal with.

Tom Burnside has some great ones also, as does Pete Luongo.

I don't remember their sites off the top of my head, but they can probably be found doing a search.
