Description

Thomas Jay McCahill III never planned on being the first and foremost authority on rolling metal and glass.
His interests were simpler: An evening sail, an afternoon drink of scotch, or the morning snore of an idling V-8 on the winding driveway of his 80-acre ranch located off State Road 628, just outside 1,600-person Glen Gardner, N.J.  “A good sports car,” said McCahill before his death in May of 1975, “(is) like any other piece of good sporting equipment.”

Description

Simply, Knudsen was a visionary, someone who would be remembered by one-word nameplates such as GTO, as in Pontiac, and Boss, as in Ford Mustang.  Some might say Knudsen was born to create dynamic vehicles and exhilarating rides. He came by his work naturally.  Born in 1913, he was the son of William S. Knudsen, an emigrant from Denmark who rose through the ranks to become president of General Motors in the late 1930s.

Description

Auto racing is so dangerous that there is perhaps a sense of irony, or disbelief, when someone involved in the sport (even a team owner) is injured or killed doing something that’s considered normal, like driving down the road.
On March 6, 1986, Frank Williams, who had become a formidable player in Formula One, the world’s premier auto racing series, was at the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France.

Description

It was the early 1980s and General Motors was on top, sitting comfortably with a 46 percent share of the North American market. (Today, it’s less than 20 percent.)  The question: could the Asian and European automakers really compete with GM using low-cost cars?  What Smith said spoke volumes about his tenure as GM’s chief executive officer (CEO).  “Why, our answer to that is a two-year-old Buick.”
And that was all you really needed to know about Smith, a man who died in 2007 at age 82.

Description

More than 35 years after his death in 1980 at age 50 of mesothelioma, a rare and painful form of lung cancer, the Rolex-watch wearing, fast-car driving McQueen is still larger than life mainly because so few lived one as fast and furious as he did.
His impact on the movie and automotive scene can be counted in the number of vehicles he owned (265 before his estate was auctioned off in 1984) and the influence he left on both worlds.

Description

Peter Revson was heir to the Revlon cosmetics fortune, but he was much happier hanging it out on a hairpin than creating new and different ways to use one.
He could have been content to stay with that life in his native New York, but he instead died pushing the edge of the envelope. There haven’t been many Americans who have made an impact in Formula One racing, what many view as the ultimate series. Revson was one of the best.
