SPORTS CARS ILLUSTRATED 1959 JAN - FIREBIRD, 315/348

 

This hard to find magazine became Car & Driver in 1961 and is listed as Vol. 5, No. 7. Somehow SCI got their numbering system off because this issue is actually Vol. 4, No. 7.  It took them almost a year to catch their mistake.

 

The cover picture is of Mike Hawthorn.

1) A tribute to Mike Hawthorn
