John Cannon - am I going colourblind?

[Thursdaycar]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone know the colour of the nose of this car - is it grey....

...or is it the same slate/purple as on John's car in this image?

Here too you can clearly see the marked painted area on the nose:

Don't really understand the query, but.

Same number but running different body kits, one has lip spoiler front/rear and one on trailer has none and different paint scheme.

Different roll hoop also

Ok that's why different car.

Vinegaroon, didn't Dan Blocker the TV actor own the car? , he wouldn't have been able to drive it though.

John Cannon drove the car for Dan Blocker in 1966, here is a picture - front cover of Sports Car Graphic June 1966.
the car is green all over, and has lights - covers can just be seen in the image posted above ;
The car is a Huffaker Mk10B Genie, powered by a 300 ci 4915cc Traco V8, Chevrolet engine
the picture is at the set of " Bonanza ", John Cannon in the car.
can scan and send the article to you Matthew - just PM me with your E-mail address.

check out the lower picture in the link above, also taken at the TV studio set, but the colour is paler.
[ My magazine has been away from the light for much of its life, so colour may be closer - doesn't have the little stripe though ]
