Pittsburgh, 1956. On the back of the photo, Hugus wrote, “Chet Flynn bought this 4.1 Mexico from Chinetti, I believe it was the one Luigi drove in the Carrera. (probably S/N 0224AT, Ed.) I bought it from Chet, and drove it from New York to Pittsburgh. I drove it quite a bit to the races but never actually raced it.”
