Mr. Coop has a pretty good gig. When he’s not working on sweet cars, he’s making some sweet hot-rod art. When he’s not doing either of those, he’s taking pictures of naked ladies (find that link yourself). In his down time, he heads down Mexico way for the running of La Carrera Panamericana.
What’s the Carrera Panamericana? It’s a week long road rally through the heart of Mexico featuring classic cars in full race trim. Technically, the current race is a resurrection of the original, which lasted from 1950-55. Rest assured, the original spirit remains, as a Studebaker has won the race 15 the last 17 years.
The pictures here represent but a small fraction of what Coop’s got stored up in his flickr collection. Do yourself a favor and be sure to check out the whole thing (Warning: his photostream contains stuff that’ll get you in trouble at work). The combination of gorgeous classics, serious race prep and serious race carnage leads to the inevitable conclusion that this is may well tie LeMons for some of the coolest automotive action on the planet.
For a great writeup of how it went, check out Gary Faules’ blog or Bring A Trailer. Ahora tenemos que empezar practicando el Espanol para participar en La Carrera el ano que viene.
