I have just acquired - via New Zealand where it was for sale - a 63 year-old 5 X 7 of a 63 year-ol car - the Camoradi Corvette. The picture is taken on a road to the Modena race track for some sort of "check run". On the reverse of the photo and faintly written in French and in pencil:

"Ecurie Camoradi

Modene Juiu 60

M. Frichard"
or
Feichard
or
???????

Is there anyone out there that can read French doctor's prescriptions? Thanks.

Georges Fraichard perhaps? French journalist and author of La Ronde Impitoyable, translated as The Le Mans Story. Would have been in his mid- to late fifties then.

I guess you weren't very good at math at school Loren  ;) ;)

Some people are so picky!

Wouldn't a Corvette be nice and out of place at Modena? Or perhaps was it a post-Le Mans outing?

Thanks so very much for your help, Pat.
Ray, the Camoradi team headquarters in Europe was in Modena.
The "M" in the photographer's name is identical to the "M" in "Modene" - but it might well be an indicator of "Mr." or the equivalent.
