great photos on Hellformotors tumblr

Briggs Cunningham at Le Mans 1950. Who is Briggs? race car driver and museum owner, and a sports car legend as he was one of the first in the 1950's to go all the way to try and win the European races as an American, like Reventon did after him, and Shelby after Reventon http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/le-monster-of-briggs-cunningham.html
From the movie "The Quest" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-is-something-you-really-ought-to.html
