Prancing Horse (#184) reviews Carrera Panamericana (1950-54)


The Prancing Horse (#184) features a review of our documentary Carrera Panamericana (1950-54). Written by Jeff Allison, the review is an appreciative look at the film and the cars and drivers of those extraordinary races. Viewed from the perspective of today's safety standards, it is difficult to believe these races were allowed to take place and that so many stepped up to the challenge they presented.

Carrera Porsche 550


One night at a gathering of Elysée Wednesday, the topic of conversation turned to our Carrera Panamericana documentary when Chad Glass, who was under the weather, emailed the latest evolution of the poster he was executing for us. It looked great and stimulated a lot of conversation about the Carrera which was overheard by someone at the next table. "Are you talking about the Carrera?" he inquired. It turns out his father, Salvador López Chavez raced in all five of the original Carrera Panamericana races. Seen here is a picture of his father in his Porsche 550.

The gentleman, Tomás López Rocha, had himself raced the previous year in the current retro Carrera winning his class in a Ford Falcon.
