Car Model References

Here I'll post pictures that might be useful to car modelers.
These pics are samples of often hard to find reference material. I've put these online to help fellow modelers, it is not my intention to infringe any copyrights.

NOTE: Referring to this page or copying the pictures is OK with me, but DO NOT link directly to any of these pictures.
When I see the number of hits on a full size picture getting considerably larger than the number of hits on this page, I will take that picture offline.

The Italeri Daytona Competizione kit contains decals for #65 of the North American Racing Team (Chassis #16407). However the model looks more like chassis #15685. Unfortunately I don't have many good quality pictures of #15685.
