What great photos!  Thanks so very much for going to the trouble to post 
these gems!

I really started drooling when I saw the number 12 Ferrari ( 
http://gallery.leica-users.org/album406/12_14_ferrari , 
http://gallery.leica-users.org/album406/12_ferrari )... Man, oh man, what a 
car)

All of this reminds me of my "honeymoon" back in June, 1960.  My sweetie and 
I were wed and immediately made our way to Oklahoma City (from the Fort 
Worth area) to some sports car races that were going on there (what a 
romantic devil I was)... my first look at a "birdcage" Maserati.  What a 
great weekend... for all the reasons you would expect.

I haven't even seen so much as a photo of a "birdcage" in years and years, 
but I've still got my sweetie (nearly 46 years later).

Thanks again for the great photos... I'm going to go check them out again!

Rob
