Click to view the 1959 Fuller Brush Magazine tribute to Phil Hill by Denise McCluggage.
In 2011, Danville d'Elegance honors the triumphs of our "Gentleman Racer" and America's First Driver's World Champion, Phil Hill. 2011 is the 50th anniversary of his momentous F1 season, during which he won both the 1961 Italian and Belgian Grands Prix. Phil was a long-time friend and supporter of Danville d'Elegance, as well as a sufferer from Parkinson's, and we are proud to maintain the connection with him and his family.
Get into the Danville d'Elegance mood by reading a contemporary article about Phil Hill by the first lady of automotive journalism, Denise McCluggage.
We will be adding more about Phil and others we honor in the coming days.
