He was a living legend, and I had the pleasure of meeting him once, very briefly, at his Connecticut based Volvo dealer. Congenial, charismatic, a true gentleman.
I'm afraid we shall never see another man of this caliber again, at least in my lifetime.
My goodness, anyone that has spent that much time behind the wheel of race Datsuns is a legend in my book.
I once heard about him GT racing a few years before he died on a supremely outdated Corvette and snagging a win. The car was numbered something in the seventies, 78 I believe. That was his age at the time. #paulnewman
