Foyt\u2019s Indy-winning Sheraton-Thompson Special Watson-Offy and Dan Gurney\u2019s Belgian Grand Prix-winning Eagle-Weslake.\u00a0Primary photography is by Peter Harholdt, supplemented by additional period photos. Leading automotive writers provide each book\u2019s accompanying text, and a foreword by an important figure in each car\u2019s history is featured. For these initial five offerings, the Cunningham text is penned by Peter Bodensteiner, the Jaguar by Ted West, the hot rod by Ken Gross, the Watson by Donald Davidson and the Eagle by Bob Varsha.<\/p>\n
