New Painting – STP Lotus

In 1968 Joe Leonard drove one of Andy Granatellis STP Lotus designed wedge shaped turbines cars and should have won the race but a fuel shaft broke while he was leading with only nine laps to go to the checkered flag. There were several of these cars in the race and Leonard’s was painted with a bright yellow nose and tire walls so his crew could spot him.
