Found on  https://www.facebook.com/imbuedwithhues/photos/a.204047289763366.1073741829.204043959763699/418198995014860/?type=1 where the original was colored by "Imbued With Hues"

A couple years ago I posted the advertisement for this very car

Jim posted a cool photo to the facebook page for Vintage Road Racing Archive, and brought up a mild debate... who were real race car drivers among known actors from Hollywood?

And let me start by saying in no particular order, with the reason that they were known to race cars on tracks, or events that consisted of planned courses recognized as serious racing. ( Baja for example, or dry lakes)

James Garner
Steve McQueen
Paul Newman
James Brolin
Patrick Dempsey
James Dean
Dick Smothers
Eric Bana
Bruce Jenner (IMSA GTO win at Sebring for Roush)
and Tommy Ivo
