Indy Cars Of The 1940s & 1950s 2 Book Set

For the Old World caught up in the traumas of a bitter conflict, America's Indianapolis 500-mile race was a New-World beacon of auto-racing speed and excitement during the 1940s. This new Ludvigsen Library book brings to dramatic life the spectacle and excitement of the 1940-1949 era at the Speedway.

Stunning photographs feature the cars, their engines, and their designs in amazing detail
