The iconic finish of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans – Ford crosses the finish line and takes the chequered flag. The number 2 Shelby American Ford GT40 Mk II driven by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon, and the number 1 Shelby American GT40 driven by Ken Miles and Denis Hulme, driving side by side just ahead of the number 5 Holman & Moody GT40 driven by Ronnie Bucknum and Richard Hutcherson. Of the 8 Ford Mk II, and 5 Mk I’s that started the race, only the three podium finishers were still running at the end of the 24 hours.
