4/27/06 UPDATE: We took a few photos of our production sample of CMC's new Maserati Tipo 61 'Birdcage' and added them to the CMC Birdcage data page. Stunning. The autograph book pictured in the last shot is titled 'LeMans 1960' and 'Villars 1962' and in addition to the 'Lucky' Casner and Masten Gregory autographs seen on this page, bears the signatures of Briggs Cunningham, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Paul Frere. Jo Siffert, Louis Chiron and several other drivers of that era. It's a very unique item. Inquire.

4/26/06 UPDATE: Harry Hurst's second Sebring book will be released in May and will tell the story of Chaparral's upset victory in the very wet 1965 12 hour race through the eyes of the participants. A great selection of Dave Friedman photos and a Foreward by Jim Hall make this perhaps the best $39.95 you can spend this spring.
