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

Classifieds in old magazines turn up incredible cars, Phil Hill's Ferrari, Tucker #8, and Old Yaller III, 1 of 16 XK-SS, Shelby GT 350, Fangio C type
You do realize what a treasure you'd have, if you'd bought Mickey's Bonneville record setting car ... or if your parents had and you inherited it!
1953 Gran Prix winner, driven by Fangio you aren't going to top that easily
