I believe it's a fake DKP sticker in the window.
It's been featured in a lot of magzines and books with those stickers !

That´s my alltime favorite cal look oval. It has "IT" all. But I must admit that I like it much better with the centerlines than with those real american racing mags.
The only thing I would change would be the chrome trim on the rear side windows... Wink

I agree Tobi that car is truly cool, as I recall it, it was also one of the first European lookers doing the Lucas/dechrome thing. And it looks way better on the Centerlines, since I can't look at the previous wheels without thinking on a octopus... Lips Sealed
