Can-Am Cars in Detail : Machines and Minds Racing Unrestrained

Can-Am lasted only 8 1/2 seasons, from 1966 into 1974, but what ground-shaking, car-shaping years those were.

With minimal rules and lavish prize money, the Can-Am attracted top-flight teams and superstar drivers.

It also encouraged innovation, and racing's most inventive minds brought out novel and astounding ideas.

Chaparral, Lola, McLaren, Porsche and Shadow are among 22 of these epic machines revisited through stunning studio photography by Peter Harholdt and vivid descriptions by Pete Lyons, long considered the dean of Can-Am journalists.
