Phil Hill

The book captures the full sweep of automotive history, from the first horseless carriage built by Karl Benz in 1886 to the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt. In between there are such vintage road cars as a 1915 Packard, the first MG, and the Jaguar XK120. There are race cars, from the exotic Bugattis and Auto Unions of the 1930s to the Ferraris, Fords, and Chaparrals that Phil drove in the 1950s and 1960s. And the book also includes Hill's personal recollections of such motorsports greats as Juan Manuel Fangio, Dan Gurney, Stirling Moss, and Jim Hall.
