Yesterday, Jacky Morel, Editor/Publisher of the French publication “427 Racing Magazine” swung by to do a photo shoot / feature article on the car. I met up with Jacky, his son, and a family friend who had arrived to the States in time for the Carlisle Events All Ford Nationals last weekend. I suggested the Mercersburg Academy campus as a location and it proved to be a nice quite venue for the shoot. Jacky, an ERA FIA owner himself, and his son, Steve, took many detail shots of the car for the article to be published sometime later this year…maybe September time. They will be traveling next up to Watkins Glen for the SAAC 37 event, then heading further North to CT with a plan to visit Peter and the gang at ERA. If you’ve never seen Jacky’s publication, here is the interwebs link:
427 Racing, magazine de voitures Shelby Cobra - GT40 - Ford
Just click on one of the two magazine covers and then you can flip through page by page and at least look at the photos if you can’t read French. You will see in “No. 1” a feature article on Jacky’s ERA FIA.
Here are a couple pics I took during the shoot using my cell phone camera:
Next up, SAAC 37.
