From my archives… the original 1967 Le Mans-winning Ford GT 40 Mk IV (chassis J-5) driven to victory by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. I would argue this is one of the – if not the #1 – most important American-built race cars in history, and a personal favorite.

Photographed with my iPhone at the 2017 SEMA Show, Las Vegas.

On display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is Bruce Meyer’s spectacular 1934 Ford Pierson Brothers Coupe.

Pete Chapouris restored it to its original 1950 “Edelbrock Special” livery, the year it topped 153 mph on El Mirage dry lake bed (the car had been heavily modified in the late 1980s and sped past 227 mph at Bonneville in 1991).

I had an opportunity to photograph Ron Bown’s stunning 1933 Ford Speed 33 Keystone Coupe, built by legendary hot rod designer Chip Foose and Marcel DeLay, at the Petersen Automotive Museum’s private in-house studio.

The Petersen automotive Museum is in Los Angeles and a must-see indulgence for everyone who loves automobiles.
