Al Unser in 1965 in The Fat One
Jerry Eisert is alongside Al Unser. Skip Hudson tried to pass his Rookie test in this car. He didn't make it and Al Unser was given a chance in it.
Jerry Eisert told Bill Wiswedel that there is only one 1965 monocoque car. The car he has is the one that went to New Zealand and is known as The Fat One.

Thanks Jerry, thats a beautiful photo, and also an interesting one. The bodywork looks very similar to that of the Marwood car, but the photos you posted earlier show different bodywork, with more squared edges. Was the body changed after it returned from NZ?Originally Posted by Jerry Entin

The 1964 tube framed car in front and the 1965 monocoque car in back.
Steve: I assume the body work was changed when the car returned. As you say the Wedge type was later type thinking.
