Corvette was crying--Pontiac you need to stop doing this
Back when corvette was crying 😢 like a baby 👶, ,, "Pontiac you need to stop doing this, you're making us look bad.
Pontiac Power - This is Paul Goldsmith's 1963 LeMans 421SD that won the 250 mile American Challenge Cup race at Daytona. The field consisted of Ferrari 250 GTOs, Chevrolet Corvettes, Porsche 356B Carreras, and few other European exotics from Lotus, Maserati, and Alpha Romeo (failed to qualify). Unknown to race fans at the time, the first two positions on the grid were 427-powered Corvettes, the first "Mystery Motors" to see action. At the start, Goldsmith's 1963 LeMans, running in a field of 2-seat sports cars, looked more like a pace car than a race car. On a damp track, the 421SD-powered LeMans won the race by 5 miles over its nearest competitor. The third photo shows Goldsmith passing a couple Corvettes, one of them (#17) was A.J. Foyt.
