The upper scene, in the print layout, shows the famous car known simply as 999, built by Henry Ford and Tom Cooper in 1902; it became legendary after Barney Oldfield drove it to national fame, helping establish Ford’s early reputation. The lower scene depicts the Lotus‑Ford number 82, the Jim Clark–driven machine that won the 1965 Indianapolis 500 and marked a turning point in Indy racing with its lightweight, rear‑engine design. Your identifications check out: 999 is correctly dated to 1902, and the Lotus‑Ford 38 wearing number 82 indeed won the ’65 Indy 500.Collection
