Jennifer Revson and Jerry Entin entering Elkhart Lake for the Friday night street Parade

 

I have just returned from a fun weekend at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin where they celebrated the 50th Reunion of the CanAm series.

 

I was driving the Lola T 70 of David Jacobs and Lilo Zicron.

We had lots of fun letting the kids on the street sit in the car and have their Parents take pictures of them.

Jack the Lad: This comes from Ike Smith:

 

 Tell Jack the Lad that the paint code is 1957 Chevy "sea foam green" (turquoise)

[Jack-the-Lad]

Thank you, Jerry, and please tell Ike I thank him too. I had no idea it was sea foam....looks bluer than that.

Jack.
