Mr427,
the ACE body was a copy of the ferrari, but the chassis, transverse leaf spring with lower control arms was kind of a copy of a ( I think) Fiat 500 Topolino. So Tojero, incorporated the ferrari body style with another chassis design, a chassis designed to be light, incorporating the leaf springs to act as the upper control arms to save weight, but at the same time, because of the long "arm" of rotation, it wasn't an ideal set-up for maintaining proper camber on hard cornering.

The crowd was jumping up and down as he stunned the Chevrolet drivers by easily passing the entire field to finish second behind MacDonald's other team Cobra. The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
