A new book from the French publishing house Éditions Cercle d’Art titled Car Racing 1967 comprises a wealth of wonderfully evocative photographs from the 1967 season in the famous DPPI agency archives.
Presley’s character, racing driver Lucky Jackson, is hoping to compete in the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, if he can raise the finance working in a local hotel to replace his Elva’s broken engine, that is. Naturally, racing’s not the only thing on his mind, though. Winning the heart of seductive swimming teacher Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret) is perhaps even higher on his list of priorities.
