Trophy Awarded to Ford Motor Company at the 1969 Lime Rock SCCA Trans-Am Race
01
Artifact Overview
The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) was established in 1944 to sanction amateur races but began organizing professional events in the early 1960s. Popular "pony cars" like Ford's Mustang and Chevrolet's Camaro inspired SCCA to create the Trans-Am racing series. Ford received this trophy when a Mustang won a Trans-Am race at Lime Rock, Connecticut, in 1969.
