Artifact Overview
Leo Beebe, seen here at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, supervised Ford Motor Company's ambitious racing efforts in the 1960s. While Beebe wasn't a motorsports fan -- he'd never seen an auto race until he took the job -- he was an exceptional manager. Under his leadership, Ford's racing program won victories at Daytona, Indianapolis and Le Mans.
