    FORMULA 1 AUTO RACE - - - AND IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL STARTING LINE-UP INSERT FOLDER BROCHURE,

INTERESTING OBSERVATION: The official results of this race confirm that Phil Walters won the race driving a Cunningham C4-R race car entered by Briggs Cunningham, and that Briggs Cunningham finished 6th driving a Ferrari 375MM - - - HOWEVER, the Starting Line-Up brochure included herewith lists Phil Walters driving the Ferrari 375MM, and lists Briggs driving the Cunningham C4-R - - - So apparently there must have been a last minute switch?
