You've probably all seen the Jim Lytle Allison powered Alsetta he built way back in the day:


The Allison-Powered Monsters of Jim Lytle - Mac's Motor City GarageMac's Motor City Garage (macsmotorcitygarage.com)

In his later years he lived in Hawaii but came "back" to Bonneville speed week and the (Detroit) Woodward dream cruise pretty much every year. I met him a couple of times at Bonneville. Quite an interesting fella.

Here's a photo of a poster he sent me after one of those meetings. This hangs about two feet from where I'm sitting/typing.
