Can-Am cars continued..........

Chaparal and McLaren's were my favorites from this era and Bruce McLaren passed way too soon. Many drivers lost their lives before safety concerns finally starting being a priority in racing cars.

Wings were one of the innovations here, designed to create down force, later banned and blamed in causing Bruce's death

that's one of my favorite aspects of these McLarens...those HUGE rear tires. So cool!

Yeah my is 1/43, I kept it since I didn't find a 1/18 for a good price but I'd part with that one for a 1/18 for the right money, always looking!
