By M. Stephen Miller on December 29, 2002
Format: Paperback
Indy Cars of the 1960s presents some classic photos of a period of great change at the 500. What is unique about this book is that it includes some photos of the non successful but technically interesting cars of the period. The Smokey Yunick sidecar, the Parnelli Jones 69 4wd turbo Ford and the Granatelli Plymouth to name a few. There are also a variety of photos of the engines and chassis mechanicals of the period including the turbines. This book is heavily focussed on the rear engined entries that predominated the 60's. The high quality B&W photos have amazing clarity. While some people prefer more prose, the captions not only describe the content, but offer little snippets of interest surrounding the subject presented.
In summary, snapshots of the period that leave you feeling that you just had a walk through the paddock.
Now, how about a book on Watson's?

Format: Paperback
A fantastic collection of B&W photos from one of the most interesting periods in Indy history. The book is printed on a high-quality glossy stock that make the pictures appear wonderfully sharp. Great pics of Watson roadsters, early Eagles, Coyotes, Lotuses, McLarens, and all of the experimental cars from the tumultuous transition from front- to rear- (mid-) engine cars. Quite a few pictures of chassis and engines, including things like the turbine car and the Hallibrand Shrike. This particular volume in the series presents the pictures chronologically (other volumes in the Ludvigsen series can differ).

Another piece of gold from Mr.Ludvigsen.I have not found a work associated with his name that was not excellent.Great pictures and enlightening captions make this a great primer for that decade.All the other books in the series are just as good.Recomended.

Format: Paperback
Excellent photographic and direct text overview of the last great decade of innovation at indy. It's all here from the seeming demise of the Offy giving way to Ford to the 4-banger's turbocharged comeback. The final qualifying of a roadster, the valliant efforts of Granatelli with the NOVI and his futuristic vision with the eventually outlawed turbines are well covered. Included are Smokey Yunic, Mickey Thompson and numerous other unsuccessful but determined and creative contenders. Well done!

Poorly written with many mistakes. I bought this book because the photo on the front cover is the Gene White car that we ran in 1968. I was very disappointed in the content or lack thereof. I will avoid other Ludvigsen books.
