MICKEY THOMPSON 1962 INDY CAR

In 1961, Jack Brabham brought an underpowered rear engine Cooper-Climax to Indy and finished ninth. The next year Mickey Thompson would bring three cars with rear mounted stock block Buick V-8s. The principal car, number 35, failed to make the race but car number 34 driven by Dan Gurney, did. After qualifying, the car's colors were changed from white with a dark blue nose to "The Mickey Thompson Harvey Aluminum Special"  blue with white front style of the 35 car.
