Toyota Pace Car at Watkins Glen International. Best picture I got of it; after having to sharpen, add light, and screenshot, the quality is horrid. So fun to see some Japanese cars at American/Euro dominated races.
Shot on Canon EOS Rebel T7 9/10/23, Watkins Glen International, Edited in Photoshop 2023. Screenshot of original due to file upload limit.

Buick Skyhawk Turbo PPG Pace Car, 1982. GM released the all-new Buick Skyhawk on the FWD J-Body chassis for 1982 though the pace cars (2 were built) bore scant resemblance to the series production models. The concept was transformed into a full-time convertible with body integrated roll bar and a slopping nose with concealed headlamps. It was powered by a 258hp fuel injected and turbocharged 3.0 litre V6 modified by McLaren Engines

1975 Buick Century Pace Car
Buick was selected to pace the Indianapolis 500 in 1975 and produced 1,813 'Free Spirit' Pace Car Editions to commemorate being chosen as the Indy 500 pace car that year. 
This 1975 Buick Century Pace Car edition has just 3,000 miles from new. The 1975 Century Pace Car Edition is identical to the actual pace car, except for the engine. This is the most original example known to exist. It was purchased new by the original owner, Stanley Ainsworth of Warren, Ohio, in April of 1975 and used only for parades and celebrations marking America's bicentennial. After Mr. Ainsworth passed in 1976, it was placed in climate-controlled storage until 2004 when purchased by its current caretakers. While the actual pace car used a 455cid V-8, under the hood of this replica is a 175hp 350cid V-8.
All Buick Century Pace Car editions were finished in white with red and blue graphics, identical to the pace car. Actor James Garner drove the actual pace car on race day. Equipped with the famous Hurst Hatch T-tops, this car remains in all-original unrestored condition with just 3,000 miles from new. Even the tires are those as delivered from the factory.
