Description The Ford Mark IV - Champion of the 1697 24hr Le Mans. To this day, the Ford Mk IV remains as the only completely American car to have won the great endurance racing classic.New regulations introduced that year meant that the Mark IV was not able to contiue competing, but many of the inovations in the Mark IV's design influenced future generation of race car design.
After the victory at Le Mans by Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt, Gurney started what is now the well known tradition by being the first to spray champagne in celebration of a race victory.See the Mark IV in action at LeMans in this wonderful historic news report of the race: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIWujd79pi0
