    John Cannon - am I going colourblind?

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if anyone know the colour of the nose of this car - is it grey....

    ...or is it the same slate/purple as on John's car in this image?

    Here too you can clearly see the marked painted area on the nose:

    Don't really understand the query, but.

    Same number but running different body kits, one has lip spoiler front/rear and one on trailer has none and different paint scheme.

    Different roll hoop also

    Ok that's why different car.

    John Cannon drove the car for Dan Blocker in 1966, here is a picture - front cover of Sports Car Graphic June 1966.
    the car is green all over, and has lights - covers can just be seen in the image posted above ;
    The car is a Huffaker Mk10B Genie, powered by a 300 ci 4915cc Traco V8, Chevrolet engine
    the picture is at the set of " Bonanza ", John Cannon in the car.
    can scan and send the article to you Matthew - just PM me with your E-mail address.

    check out the lower picture in the link above, also taken at the TV studio set, but the colour is paler.
    [ My magazine has been away from the light for much of its life, so colour may be closer - doesn't have the little stripe though ]
