the Johnson Wax company sponsored the Can Am race series and commissioned a unique trophy. And yet not a single good photo of it exists on the internet anywhere. No champion and his trophy, not one photo


“The nacelle-like trophy,” we wrote in Competition Press Autoweek back in 1966, “made of magnesium and aluminum, is given its upward thrust by the ‘repel’ action of powerful ceramic magnets in it and the black ‘launching pad’ of its pedestal.”
