1960 Lemans Corvette Video

[Rick Gower]

At the Monterey Historic races in 2002 there was a video of the number 2 1960 Briggs Cunningham car racing at Lemans in 1960 running on a monitor above the car. Does anyone know where one can purchase a copy? Thanks in advance.

Rick, I don't remember the video in

question, but I'm pretty sure it came from the Chevrolet movie 24 Hours at Le Mans, narrated by Dr Dick Thompson. Not highly publicized. inasmuch
as even Dr Dick did NOT have a copy in 1995 - there was a fellow offering them for sale, but I don't know where or how much - they show up on e-Bay.

Rick, It could have been the video "Competition Corvettes". It has actual footage of the Corvettes at LeMans, Sebring, Daytona and I believe Bahamas Speed Week. I got my copy a few years ago from an ad in one of the Corvette publications. Jim Weeks Member #2978

Competition Corvette also used the

footage from the Dr Thompson Chevy movie.
