Vintage American Road Racing Cars, 1950-1970
The 1950s and 1960s were the boom times for road racing in America. In this fertile soil, dozens of American racing car manufacturers sprouted up, supplying fields of post-war thrill seekers with race cars. Names like Shelby American, Huffaker, Devin, Miller, Kurtis, Old Yaller, Chaparral, Cunningham, Scarab, Eagle, and many others made a name for themselves on American race tracks and even overseas. Hundreds of "specials" were produced as well, often modified versions of such classic cars as Corvette, Porsche, and MG. Part hot rod, part sports car, all of these cars were built with a heaping helping of good old American know-how and a pure passion for racing that was unique to the era.
