I have solved the confusion surrounding the photo from the Life magazine
archieves.
I have a book that was given to the attendees at the NHRA Mickey Thompson
exhibit presented by Gale Banks.
Page 6 shows a photo of #204 pushing Mickey's twin engined Bantam coupe,
#239.
The caption reads:
"In 1953 Mickey entered the infamous Carrera Panamericana (Mexican Road Race)
in a six cylinder Ford sponsered by Alhambra's Ellico Ford. He had a tough
time in the grueling contest, but the Ford survived to serve as a Bonneville
push car."
I am sorry that since my computer was repaired that my scanner no longer
works. If I find the software to reload the scanner I will link to a photo.
Maybe Mitech Mike or someone else who was at the exhibit debut could scan page
6.
