E leven years ago this past August I had the opportunity to meet legendary Phil Hill in California at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. He was a guest judge for the concours. Not much was said, just a “hello” and “nice to meet you” after a handshake on the 18th Fairway. He said he liked my magazine although the first time he saw it was most likely at that moment when I gave him a copy. None the less he was greatly appreciative along with a big smile and a gentle nod of the head. John Lamm provided this article on Phil Hill for the March 2007 issue of my previous publication American Driver. Of course the following year in 2008 is when Phil passed after attending the same weekend’s series of events in Monterey. Automotive photographer Al Satterwhite graciously provided the incredible photos pulled from his archived collection of great race car drivers. The article still reads well and looks good today as we “Remember” Phil Hill in this issue of Car Guy Magazine. We also revisit one of my favorite cars of all time known as “The Beast.” The 1934 Triumph owned by John Ridings Lee in Dallas, Texas just leaves me weak in the knees. Watching it being photographed for the article and listening to it roar to life was a thrill to my senses that I will never forget. You’ll understand why after you’ve read the article. Writers Paula Felps, Glenn Zanotti and photographer Jim Muise did a great job with this feature that first ran in the “Premiere Issue” of American Driver in 2007. Again this car is timeless and was well worth another look here today. Our roadmaster Ted Glover introduces us to an exciting Road trip through the Texas Hill Country and I visit Bowling Green, Kentucky to assist in assembling a new Corvette engine. We also meet up with Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage and Fast and Loud fame at the Dodge Rocks! event and much more. Enjoy your November!
