1965 Indianapolis 500 -- Item 350

Digital image

Dave Friedman captured auto racing history through his own photography and his collection of works by other photographers. At the Indianapolis 500 in May 1965, Scotsman Jim Clark became the first driver to win Indianapolis in a rear-engine car -- the days of front-engine-car victories at the Indy 500 were over. Clark was also the first foreign driver to win since 1916.
