Dan Gurney's Eagles Show

[RancheroSteve]

I visited the "Gurney's Eagles" show at the Petersen Museum a few days ago. Ten cars, a motorcycle and some cool ephemera from Gurney's career as a constructor. 

Full album here (60 photos), which also includes a couple of Eagles that were in the lobby when I visited a few months back:  Gurney's Eagles

Thanks for the great look-see at what has to be one of racings most brilliant careers - as driver, constructor, promoter, mechanic, engineer, Dan Gurney may be the sports greatest renaissance man. Along with Harry Miller, Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall and Mickey Thompson, he also ranks at the very pinnacle of American motor sports in terms of influence.

Fabulous shots Steve! Perfect detail references for future builds, with the various shades of aluminium, metal and paint.

Overall a great tribute to the skill and passion of Dan Gurney!

Thanks for the photos, 

Cheers Misha

Looks like some of the cars that were in the Riverside Raceway Museum before it closed. On some wasn't sure which belonged to the museum or were still Gurney's and he was displaying them. Maybe I should post the set even if some of the photos aren't the best. Between them and yours would be some really good references.

Do you know how long the show is going to be there?

Wow great photos and I wish that I could get down there and see that display. I've only been to the Petersen Museum once. Back in the late summer or early fall of '67 I had the opportunity to talk to Dan Gurney and also watch him race at the Grand Prix of the United States in Watkins Glen, New York. It was an awesome time.

Do you know how long the show is going to be there?

According to their website, until January 10, 2018.

Thanks, guess I could have checked myself. Problem I have with going there is easy 6 hours from Phoenix to a hotel in Orange County. Then another 3 hours getting from there to the museum and finding a parking spot.

Yeah, I guess I'm lucky - just a bike ride away for me.
