1974 Shadow DN4 Navigation
Heading into 1972, the team's original design was reworked and improved substantially. This was helped to some degree by the fact it was a titanium car. By 1973, Shadow grew to be one of the more competitive teams in the dying series of Can-Am racing.
This Shadow, DN4-P is the actual development prototype. Jack Oliver drove this car for pre-season testing at Laguna Seca and Mosport. Later George Follmer was recruited by Nichols to fill the seat previously occupied by Peter Revson.
Chassis DN4-1P was retained by Nichols and eventually rebuilt in 1991. In 2012 the current owner obtained the car and has since prepped it for racing. It has since garnered seven event wins including the 2013 and 2014 SVRA national championships.
