Need pics of "The Cigarette"
 

Looking for pics of the original 32 Cary the Cigarette. Have a few but they are low resolution . I have searched the site but many pics that were loaded with Imageshack in the past seem to be no longer viewable.

Tommy, remember when that boat raced it was 1969. High resolution was not even a gleam in the 35mm eye.

Sal Magueri was the photographer of that era before he was killed shooting a race. Almost all of it was black and white.

I may have some extra PR shots that Don sent out with his press releases back then, I will bring them to OFF.

Looking forward to it Charlie See you there

Here's a pic of the "Cigarette" with Don Aronow on a coffee mug.......ofcourse, not what your looking for, but these novelty items were around in the 1980's Florida.

Try Beken,

They took pictures of the Cowes race when he was there in '69. If you fill out their request form they will send you proofs for what they have.

within my archives i have a print i was told was taken from the original, its pretty sharp/crisp and does not appear to be a digital copy. i think i can scan it at high res if that would work. Cant remember(my bad) where i got it but it was given to me be another OSO member if whats left of my memory serves lol :cool:

Something like this. Haha

do i even dare asking why? i had a great pic of it for years as my screen saver. looks like i deleted it. hope all is well.

Great pics Ratman . Many that I have never seen. The line drawing is something I posted here many years ago and it was pretty small wish I could find a larger version of it.

Thanks, some of them are from Graham Stevens here in the UK, he has a truly incredible collection of media........

The line drawing of the 32 is VERY cool! Where did you find it?

It was in a old Motorboating and Sailing my older brother had from new and handed down to me it also had that closeup pic of the Cigarette from the bow you see 2 pics under it on the cover .

Same issue had a article called Miami Glamour boats that I posted way back.

Funny to see old Log Style manifolds on a racing engine.How many horse were they like 425 and were they 482 or 496s?

[QUOTE=tommymonza;4212575]I am pretty sure they are 482. This photo would have been taken in circa 1969, I don't think the 496 were seen until about 75.

Here are some photos of my Dads 482s in Magnum Tornado. I have been told that these were some of the only 482s in existence at the time the boat sank at the end of Aug 68. They use the same carbs and exhaust manifolds. They made about 450-500hp.

There's some cool stuff here, thanks!

Does anyone know why he called it "The Cigarette"?

After an old rum runner boat from the prohibition times

Great photos Ratman. I was at the memorial service for Mike Fiore that was held in Rhode Island and Steve Curtis was there too. I walked up on his blind side and said....Excuse me aren't you Clyde's boy? Totally caught him off guard. Nice to see Clyde in the photos as navigator for the Cowes race.

Bottom photos are from HORBA we put them up a while back. Those show The Cigarette crew celebrating the Bahamas 500 win. We have the full color film of that race and it shows Don starting the race with his helmet on and later it's off for good.

The Cigarette was the name of the famous Brooklyn rum runner during prohibition. He was from Brooklyn and knew of the fame of the boat. He called three of his race boats by that name. The first was a Formula 233 with a single engine sterndrive. The second was a 28 foot Magnum with another single engine sterndrive. And the last is the most famous of all, the boat pictured here, a 32 foot Cary with twin sterndrives.

The hand shake photo is priceless :D
