As competing in rallye, I'd imagine it could have had a Raymond Mays conversion with alloy head, twin carbs and headers, but the RM sign was usually very small, if there was one at all. -- Last edit: 2022-04-17 22:19:31

As #36 is clearly visible, and as you stated "#36 in 59/60/61 Monte Carlos was not a Consul", is this not showing a real Monte Carlo start? Edit: I believe I've read somewhere that the starting position was (always, usually, sometimes?) on a raised platform.
