Not the best quality film, but it is the very first Can-Am race. Look at the number of cars that started that race!
The lap around St. Jovite narrated by Masten Gregory makes up for the lousy video. Anyone recognize the car he's driving?

It’s a shame there is hardly any film of the Can-Am out there.

Dash is wrong for an E-Type.
M-B 300 could be...

Easy ID. I've driven a few, and know that view down the hood. The "box" is the ash tray lid.
