1967 Toledo Autorama

Besides the Toledo Autorama, I've added a few photo's from the 1984 Detroit Grand Prix here. Only until I have time to digitize all of the negatives & then create their own gallery. Joe Stevens photographed the very 1st Grand Prix on Bellisle & continued for some years. I'll have to work on this soon.

The Monkee Mobile and that's Me, Joe Stevens daughter, Patrice. I was only around 9/10 here but I still see that car at the Woodward Cruise, the Downriver Cruise & others in the Detroit area. I met the new owner & saw the car up close just recently & it looks just as good as it did back then. If you'd like a photo of it without me in the picture, You'll find it in the Flint Photo Gallery.
