 | | Each and every one of these rare Mercury Cyclone GT 'Pace Cars' found their way to Indianapolis that holiday where, they not only witnessed a cataclysmic 16 car crash as soon as the race began but, Graham Hill taking the checkered flag (which included taking part of the $160,000 in prize money home). |
 | | Under the Highway Safety Act,each Cyclone was equipped with a dual braking system, in the event of brake failure, and a 'crash dome' padded steering column. |
 | | Although the showroom bred Cyclone may have been Rip Van Winkle on the sales charts, the "Pace Car" Cyclone was no 'sleeper' on the racetrack. |
