What is your all time favorite automobile?

What is your all time favorite automobile?

This is the easiest one for me to answer. It’s the Porsche 917. It’s one of the few cars that was the star of a movie (that wasn’t a cartoon).

I first saw it at the 24 hours of Daytona in 1970.

It was the first time I’d seen a car go over 200MPH in person in my life and I was a pre-teen at the time.

It would go on to dominate 2 different series of racing. It’s what got me fully hooked on endurance racing.

Here is the car on NASCAR turn 4 at well over 200 driven by my then favorite driver, Jo Siffert.

One thought on “What is your all time favorite automobile?

  1. Packard is my all time favorite automobile. Especially the late 20’s to early 30’s ones. They are not called “Classics” for nothing! And I mean true classics not the 40’s through 50’s Detroit assembly line machines. The Classics of the late 20’s through 30’s were virtually all hand made.
