...painted a different color. So quite recently the authorities moved it into the Harvard Yard." The Sunglassed Voice seemed to be having a lot of trouble with his chronology. "I'm told you can buy anything you want in Harvard Square. Anything at all, Pot, anything. Notice the car registrations. They're from all over the world, and I do mean all over the world. Up here on the right is the gray public administration building whert John F. Kennedy went to classes at Harvard...
...Gurney, 37, whose All American Racers, Inc., manufactured the rugged, sweet-handling Eagles driven by Bobby, Dan himself and the fourth-place finisher, New Zealand's Denis Hulme. Long one of the world's most talented racing drivers, Gurney turned to building his own cars in 1964, and the results have been little short of sensational. Last year, in a smaller version of the Eagle, he won the Belgian Grand Prix-the first Grand Prix victory scored by a U.S. car since 1921. But "our great objective from Day One," said Dan, was Indy...

...Mercer 35-J's new owner is Harry Resnick, 49, whose four-year-old collection of old autos in Ellenville, N.Y., is already up to 60 cars. To further fill out his collection, Resnick also laid down $37,500 for a sleek, maroon 1966 Duesenberg four-door sedan (body by Ghia), $8,000 for a bright blue 1924 Amilcar three-place sport model CGS 3, and $15,500 for a 1916 Biddie Victoria touring car.
