There were two Cadillacs that Cunningham took to the 24 Hours in 1950. One was a stock Series 61 coupe that the astounded French dubbed Petit Pataud, which roughly translates to "the Clumsy One." The other car pictured here started out as a bare Series 61 chassis, but was clothed in a riveted aluminum roadster body partially designed by Grumman Aircraft on Long Island, which immediately got it nicknamed Le Monstre. It wasn't exactly a perfect outing. Cunningham was paired with Long Island driver Phil Walters, known during his stellar Midget racing career as Ted Tappett, in Le Monstre, but Cunningham stuffed it into a sandbank on the second lap. Despite losing at least a half-hour digging it out, and then having only third gear for most of the race, Le Monstre finished 11th overall, one spot behind the coupe, as the crowd roared with delight. #cadillac #lemans #briggscunningham #vintageracing #classiccar #vintagecar #pebblebeachconcours #revsinstitute #cadillacracing #carshow (at Pebble Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnVE7evy4wg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Carroll Shelby was born #OnThisDay in 1923 in Leesburg, Texas. As a driver, Shelby won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans (with Roy Salvadori). As a constructor, he returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe to shepherd the Ford GT40 victory in 1966 and 1967. With his big grin and black cowboy hat, Shelby brought a touch of Texan good ol' boy to every deal he made... and he made quite a few deals. According to his autobiography, "[W]inning the Twenty-four Hours was probably the greatest thrill I ever got out of racing. I can think of plenty of other races that carry their quota of thrills for the winner, but when you win this one it kind of gives you license to go out and tell people you're good, and that often helps get some other deals together." Some of those deals gave the world the Shelby Mustang and the Cobra. In 1965, the Shelby American Cobra won the International Championship for GT Manufacturers. Not too bad for guy who didn't start driving professionally until he was 29 years old! All photos from Revs Digital Library. #gt40 #cobra #shelbyamerican #lemans #revsinstitute

Porache 917K from the Revs Institute. Unrestored and in as raced condition, could a more significant Porsche possibly exist? #porsche #porsche917k #revsinstitute #porschemuseum #porschemotorsport #flatsixes (at The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance)
