Originally captured on color film, this fascinating collection covers high profile races, legendary drivers, and celebrities associated with motor sports in the 1950s, ’60s and early ’70s.

Racing legends Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, Richard Petty, Fireball Roberts, A.J. Foyt, LeeRoy Yarbrough, Don “The Snake” Prudhomme, and Al Unser, Sr., battle in big races like the Indy 500, Daytona 500, U.S. Nationals, Miller 500, Winternationals, and Charlotte 500 during their prime. And notable people such as Wilt Chamberlain, John Wayne, James Garner, Ronald Reagan, Lorne Green, Barry Goldwater, and Paul Newman display their profound affection for the sport.

Demolition derbies and hydrofoil, soapbox, midget car, motocross, Baja, Can-Am, and motorcycle racing round out the collection - along with “girl watching” by camera operators who didn’t always keep their eyes on the main event.
