Giants Despair, 1959

Over at The Old Motor, contributor Ivan Pozega recently shared a couple photos of the Giants Despair hillclimb in Pennsylvania, circa 1959, showing a Lotus 11 and a pair of Elvas above and Roger Penske in a Porsche RSK below. See how many other cars you can identify.

UPDATE: As reader Ron Mann pointed out to use, these photos actually originate over at BARCBOYS.com’s excellent page on Giants Despair, which includes many more photos of the hillclimb from about that time. Thanks, Ron!
