It could have been the Glas of my parents! They lived near Hengelo, the place where that picture was taken. Except for the fact that our Glas was white

hah, would have been fun indeed if it was theirs, its indeed taken in Hengelo, like most of WA's pictures are made in the East of the Netherlands, Overijssel.

00-PN-06 Jaguar 3.4 S


MR-88-84 Glas Isar 700, can not remember ever seeing one, but look at the decorative strip on the side, the same line as for example the first photo of that American car, quite special, apparently a sign of the times at the time


Glas Isar 700 at some car scrapyard, with some other cars around it, some I recognize, others not so

Right of the Glas, looks like a MKII Ford Cortina 1500GT.

hm, I don't know (edit, now I do lol), looked at some 4 doors as in picture, but the rear side window, the small part, has a to short or not 'bow' on top, see other example of such cortina what I mean.



edit, I thought about the other car then you thought of, you were right, its a Ford Cortina

Thanks

I like it as well, looking through those old pictures and cars etc and what I missed around cars from those days hahah, we did not went often from our neighborhoods/city and around that age I spotted only the more 'cool' cars and sport cars printed in my mind so to speak, so I missed a lot lol.

That WA guy, a small boy back then was interested in so many cars and trucks etc, thats pretty amazing.

I also like what memories it can bring to others by seeing certain cars or trucks and am amazed also by how much some people know about some cars and remembering details etc, so yeah, thats nice.

Rene you are correct in your thinking for the car behind the Glas but daqinggregg was, I'm sure, referring to the car immediately to the right of the Glas, which indeed is a Cortina GT as seen from the badge on the rear flank.

ow ships, my mistake, yes then I agree, did not even noticed that one because such small details but yeah rear lights etc match .

hm, now I wonder even more what car it is right behind that, that car I was thinking of that one without the front light, tried to google with 4 door 70s etc, and triumph etc but no hit yet, though it looks such a simple car? but that rear quarter ? light window part with the rounded top is very difficult to find (for me at least )

Grand Prix in Havana 1958: Racing Against the Revolution. Details are a bit thin.



The second race took place in 1958, already on the eve of the regime's collapse. Before it began, partisans managed to abduct the leading driver, world champion Juan Manuel Fangio.







Batista, who dreamed of turning Havana into a second Las Vegas, tried in every way to show foreign investors and tourists that everything was OK in the country and the fun continued. To this end, he organized the Cuban Grand Prix car race in Havana in 1957.



Some sources suggest that these are footage from the 1957 race, but it does not change the essence.
