Here's a picture of Dan that I took in October, 1962 at the LA Times Grand Prix for Sports Cars where he was driving the Arciero Brothers Lotus 19.

I had a Gurney Eagle Model as a child.

One of the most beautiful race cars ever. The REVS Institute in Florida has a a very nice one.

Fine looking men in that picture. That was a fun day.

Mark Donohue remains my favorite driver to this day. His Penske liveried rides are still some of the best looking.......and I am extremely jealous of MadInNC's past access to several of them.

I have always admired Dan... I have several items autographed by him. I would love to have him autograph the gurney bubble on my GT as well...

The detail and workmanship on the Eagle are incredible.
