  • In 1964, Garner formed his own company, Cherokee Productions. After several lackluster entries, Grand Prix (1966), directed by John Frankenheimer and co-produced by Cherokee, co-starred him with Yves Montand and Eva Marie Saint on the European Grand Prix circuit. The expensive Cinerama epic by MGM did not fare as well as expected, and in light of his recent films, Garner was blamed for the disappointing box office on Grand Prix, which damaged his film career. However, driving Formula 3 cars for the filming gave Garner the urge to race for real, distracting him from his career in front of the camera. He formed his own American International Racing (AIR) team and both competed in and backed as team owner racing in numerous classes, captured in a documentary he co-produced and starred in, The Racing Scene, in 1969.
  • The Ford C series is a range of trucks that was produced by Ford between 1957 and 1990. The first cab-over-engine (COE) truck produced with a tilting cab by Ford, the C series replaced the C-series COE variant of the F-Series, produced since 1948. Produced as both a straight/rigid truck and a tractor, many versions of the C series were produced, ranging from Class 5 to Class 8 GVWRs. Produced for 33 years nearly unchanged (with the exception of its powertrain), the C series was the longest-produced commercial truck in North America at the time of its withdrawal; only the Mack Model R (39 years) and Kenworth W900 (65 years) have remained in production longer. For 1963, the C series was updated with the same cowl insignias used by the rest of the medium- and heavy-duty truck lineup. The logo had the word FORD on top of a trapezoid with the model number designation. This insignia was used until 1967. Also in 1963, Ford introduced diesel versions of the C series, as well as the N series and heavy-duty F Series. In 1968, federal regulations required all automotive manufacturers to add side-marker reflectors or lights, which Ford was able to add to the new cowl insignia used on the F Series since 1967. That same year, Ford decided to add this insignia on the doors of the C series, as well. Unlike the Ford F Series, which removed them for 1973, the C series retained them until the end of production in 1990.
