I found this in the May/June 2006 issue of Motor Trend Classic. The caption reads, "THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA Motor Trend held its first Import Car of the Year contest in 1970. Porsche's mid-engine 914 won, and the staff wanted to make a big splash of it. Shooter Fred Enke went big, for sure - the barge was more than 80 feet long. This oddly conceived cavalcade set sail from the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. The female model was an unnamed Petersen Publishing stafer, and the hapless dude in the rowboat was executive editor Dick Wells. The wind was up that day, and the barge nearly overwhelmed the rowboat on numerous occasions. But they got the shot."
I thought ya'll would get a kick out of this. And the car looks like my baby! Thanks to my wife for scanning, sticking both halves together and saving it in a format that could post. -Roger |
