Chassis:
Featured is one of the sixteen XKSS Jaguars constructed. It was delivered new to the United States and when was purchased off its first owner by actor / racing driver Steve McQueen in the 1960s. At one point he had legendary artist Von Dutch customize the interior. He used it both on the road and on the track before selling to William Harrah at the end of the decade. He missed the stylish Jaguar so much that he bought it back a few years later and kept it until his untimely death in 1984. Today it's part of the Petersen Museum Collection and is seen here receiving the 'best of show' award during the 2006 Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.
