356 The way it was...

I believe it said it was a Speedster with a later front end. I'll try and find that source again.

Did quite a lot of search trying finding 1950-51 and 52 pics of Jacqueline Evans
Amazing that Jacqueline became famous when she start racing Porsche.
Indeed her 1953 Eva Peron tribute car has certainly helped her gaining notoriety despite the fact she was never classified although she did finish the 1953 race but out of time
In 1950 all 100 + starting cars were US except two French cars a Delaye and a Talbot Lago


1951 is the first year where European cars (mainy Italians as Ferrari, Alfa Romeo etc) discover this race
Jacqueline raced with a Chrysler Windsor in 1950

and a Chrysler Saratoga in 1951 and 1952

All things considered she was most certainly ahead of her time.

So, safe to say that she never finished a Carrera Panamericana in a Porsche?
Nonetheless, quite an achievement for a man, of the era, let alone a woman. I wish I done that...
Thanks for the pics!!! Any of the Chryslers?

PS: Al Roker is "going full analog, baby!" this week. Gotta love a dial telephone, a typewriter, LP records, cassette players, and chalk board weather maps! What a guy...

Agree Vance
In fact I have been a little rude with her as she did finish 2 off the 5 Carrera Panaericana she raced


Jacqueline Evans was born in 1915 in Wales
Played in some musical play in London
In 1946 move with her first husband to the US trying to boost her career
In 1949 went for holydays in Mexico and never left
Divorce and remaried a very welthy industrial Jose de Lopes
Thanks to his relations she became a fous Mexican actress
Play in "never forgetable films" such as :
Aventures of Casanova
Murder in 3 acts
Coming out Trumps

As you have surel noticed her notoriety allowed us to obtain race number 200 in 1953 and 100 in 1954

"lady Never finish"
