There are few places on earth to see a 1971 Ferrari Dino and a 1973 GMC Canyon Lands Edition 23-foot Motorhome hanging out together in their natural habitat. The Monterey Historics is evidently one of those places. The Oldsmobile Toronado-powered GMC motors out to two race events per year, and serves as mobile living quarters for the motor racing efforts of Tom and Verna Griffiths. The two-tone Pineapple Yellow paint scheme was a standard color choice for 1973. Optional colors included Parrot Green and Bittersweet. The Canyon Lands was a naming convention used by GMC to honor our National Parks and the all new for 1973 motorhomes. The Giallo FLY yellow Dino belongs to pals, and is also an example of an automaker forging ahead with modernity while holding onto tradition. Add a little racing green into the mix and it all makes perfect sense that the Griffiths run a Lotus 23 in the Classic Sports Racing Group.
