Did anyone catch these coincidences?

SOURCE: FORD MOTOR COMPANY
During the election season, we referenced a 1964 Car and Driver article regarding a mock Presidential candidate in a popular motor racer.  When we researched archives further, we were able to note some very interesting series of photos that I found connected that legendary motor racer and a current motorsport superstar.  Can anyone note the reference?
