The Leatherman cousins.
This post has caused me to do some more research on the Leatherman's. They were cousins, not brothers as I thought, and both have passed. Jim in 2017, and Larry in 2020.
According to Larry's obit, he retired from racing in 1970. According to Jims obit, he was a parts manager at several GM dealerships. Does anyone have more information about their exploits, other than what is known from their association with Dick Harrell?
I have a couple of recent pics I've attached of a 1969 Camaro racecar, sponsored by Branine Chevrolet, driven by Larry. Does anyone know about this car? I have no idea if it is the #15 ZL1 early or later in its career, or another racecar, run by Larry. I'm not even sure how I found these pictures, or if there is a better copy of them, or who owns them. The 1st and 3rd pic looks like its fresh out of a paint shop, engine out, and front bumper and hood not installed. The #15 ZL1 was originally Silver.
Thanks, Ken Boje
