58 GT Speedster raced by D.D. "Mitch" Michelmore

#1 Post by Tom Miller »

Hi, I'm trying to research race photos of a 58 Carrera GT Speedster raced by D.D. "Mitch" Michelmore. The car was purchased from Competition Motors, was painted silver, had a roll bar, and a some point the deck lid was told to be louvered by Eddie Myer's Shop. The speedster raced with the numbers #19, #18, and #119. Here is the known race history so far. Overall, first, second and third place finishes.
First place finishes:
Palm Springs SCCA Nationals,
November 1, 1958, BP+CP+DP+EP
Second place finishes:
Santa Barbara, August 8, 1958, CP+DP
Hourglass Field, Sept. 28, 1958, DP+EP
Minden, Oct. 25, 1958, Porsche
Phoenix, Nov. 23, 1958, BP+CP+DP+EP
Third place finishes:
