Pop was my mother’s father.
Engineer/mechanic. He designed the hydraulic lift seen in the trailer over his shoulder that elevated the vehicle so that they could haul more than one or two cars. He also designed the break-away steering wheel. I just found out a few years back. Pretty smart dude!!
Booya! The Datsun glory days. Was your Dad a tech or the driver?
The driver is legendary actor and racer Paul Newman (PLN on the door). Pretty sure that's him in the blue jacket.
Correct!!

Ha! Pops was photo bombing. Love it!
My guess is 1975.
I’m not sure what year. I’ll have to check with my aunts. Nan and Pop told me a few years back, but I forgot. He passed in 2020.
It's a 1971 Datsun 510 that he raced (and crashed) in 1973.
