"             Dan Gurney gets the credit for bringing and together at Indy. Jimmy Clark came close to winning the 500 in 1963 and 1964, and for 1965 Colin Chapman built the new Lotus 38 for Clark. Bobby Johns was in the sister car on the factory team, while Gurney had a 38 sponsored by Yamaha. Johns finished 7th, while Gurney dropped out on lap 42.   Bob Casey, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan, explains that under its contract to supply engines, Ford would get the car if Clark won. He did, and the car never raced again. The automaker put the Lotus on tour around the U.S. to promote the win and in 1977 gave it to what was then generally called Greenfield Village, now The Henry Ford. All those miles on the road were rough for the Lotus, which had been dinged and battered. A few years ago, the museum decided to give the Lotus a &amp;quot;conservation,&amp;quot; which Casey explains means, &amp;quot;Doing everything necessary but as little as possible to preserve the car.&amp;quot; He figures both the chassis and engine are 90 percent original, Walt Goodwin finding the V-8 still had its race oil from 1965.   You can see Jimmy Clark&amp;#039;s Indy-winning Lotus at The Henry Ford, although it will likely be spending some time in Indianapolis during this centennial year for the race.
