An excellent shot of Joe Leonard in the 1968 STP Lotus "Wedge" Turbine. Joe came close to winning that year's 500, although Bobby Unser says he was faster than Joe all day. But, that was never proven as the turbine died on a late-race restart. Funny note about the Lotus emblem. It was originally much smaller, more subtle. But when Colin Chapman saw the size of the STP sticker Andy Granatelli put on the car's nose, he went to this version! Some of the most revolutionary and controversial cars in Speedway history the turbine wedges were a complete departure from the STP turbine of the previous year. An exciting time for technology at Indy

1957 Borgward Isabella Coupe Cabriolet

Carl F. W. Borgward was a hands-on automotive innovator from 1920 forward, but oddly, no cars bore the Borgward name until 1939, when the Hansa 2000 was renamed the Borgward 2000. Borgward started from scratch twice – once in the 1920s, and again after WWII, and was seen as the financier, engineer, designer, factory manager, and salesman!
Rebuilding after the war, the Borgward portfolio included Hansa, Lloyd, Goliath, and Borgward, and collectively accounted for a number of German automotive firsts, such as slab-sided styling, consumer gas fuel injection, air-suspension, automatic transmissions, and construction methods. Not politically savvy, Borgward’s run-ins with members of the Bremen Senate eventually led to one of Germany’s most spectacular and notorious bankruptcies, apparently for no good reason, in the early 1960s. At one time, it was Germany’s second largest auto producer, and competed well with Mercedes-Benz and Opel, and was larger than Alfa, BMW, Saab, and Volvo.

Production of the Borgward Isabella started in 1954.
The Isabella soon became the most popular model and remained in production for the life of the company.
In 1961 Borgward went into bankruptcy.

(Many celebrities, including Hollywood actor Paul Newman, drove a Borgward Isabella cabriolet)
