"A more common FIII car
was the Cooper, with Harry Morrow shown here.
Harry was very active in the sports car scene of the 1950s, having been an early investor in Road & Track magazine and the Willow Springs race track. Harry also owned the Autobooks bookstore in Burbank for many years. Bruce and I used to drive over from Pasadena to Burbank on Friday evenings to check out the latest books and schmooze with Harry and others that would gather at Autobooks." |
