That is without question art work, and goes way past even "excellent craft" Rick.  BTW, the body and livery is also one of my alltime favorites!  Sigh...this and cars "like" them were without question "golden age cars"! I don't give a rat's patootie about 3 tenths of a second this or that, or goofy comparisons about modern cobalt whatchamacallit doo-dads.  That stuff is amazing, but it aint THIS!

Thanks guys, I really like the chassis designs, body choice and paint scheme too. All credit goes to the man who designed it all.........THANKS PHILIPPE!
 
Here's my favorite of PdL's imagination:



This is an earlier version of one of his Pro car creations. It was painted by my friend master modeler and painter Jairus Watson, with a few twists to the lettering for me.

Pretty ZOOMY!

I love the scale slot cars of the early 60's all the way through these early 70's PRO racers. It's my personal "Golden Age"

Starting to love the scale 60's cars,but really like these pro cars!!

Hi Paul,

 

The last one is a MAC 612 CanAm "Philippe Ferrari"

The other two are Lancer Porsches I believe. They are reproduced by Outisight Designs as the Honda-XR #404

Oh and just incase there's a Mike Steube nos armature on eBay , after reading about PdL's original car having Steube power , the arm appeared in a search !

[TSR]

Yes but it is not a real one by Bill Steube, but one by Mura and marketed by Associated after they bought the rights to the "Mike Steube" name from Mike. His dad was none too happy...

Unfortunately not the same... 

[SlotStox#53]

Thanks for the clarification regarding the arm
