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!
Sincerely,
Tim Miller
