Palm Springs 1955

Post by Peter McKercher »

Another 50's video with Dick van Laanen's car. This one is Palm Springs 1955 http://vimeo.com/10349294 His is the very first car to be seen at the beginning of the clip (#44). An excellent shot as he goes into the corner. The car he built his special to beat was Ken Miles' MG TD Special known as the Flying bat. The Miles car is the second one to be seen.
