@IsaacBickerstaffEsq imagine the impact this had on me as I was a teenaged-car-guy livning in a stick-and-ball world. The MG recollection was too much to hope for as one of the cars later lived in the Binghamton, NY area where I grew up. I also was under the delusion he did some live in-car audio but that seems unlikely. Thanks, Joe Tierno
I remember this video but forgot the Monaco portion. He raced a Lotus 11 at Lime Rock and Sebring. Does anybody remember him doing a live broadcast on Monitor radio around 1960? No one believes me when I tell them part of the broadcast was from one of the MGA team cars. Perhaps is was from his Lotus 11. Any comments? Thanks, Joe Tierno
Greatest American newscaster of all time.
Fantastic old Lime Rock footage + Monaco to boot. Thanks for posting this and RIP Walter, you were the best.
Great footage. Seeing Cronkite driving a Healy in coat and tie is a time warp.
Love the LRP incar video! Pure gold!
