Henry Ford II at the 24 Heures du Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans) Race, June 1966

01

Artifact Overview

Henry Ford II smiled after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon won the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Ford GT40 Mark II. After two disappointing years at the French endurance race in which Ford cars did not even finish, 1966 brought a thrilling victory -- made even sweeter by the fact that Fords took second and third places too.
