For race fans, it&#8217;s always fun to see the history of any part of the sport on the big screen &#8211; but more excitingly, it has encouraged the release of real information about the build and those involved.<\/p>\n<p>The Petersen Automotive Museum is featuring a short documentary film by Kahn Media about the historical context of this collaboration. Titled \u201c8 Meters,\u201d the film focuses on race car driver Ken Miles and Ford\u2019s historic 1-2-3 victory at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. You can watch it below or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fhiWRTDZ7-E\">the Petersen&#8217;s Youtube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fhiWRTDZ7-E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Petersen is also displaying hero cars in their \u201cWinning Numbers\u201d museum exhibit. These include the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB SEFAC and 1957 Ferrari 625\/250 Testa Rossa, which both appeared in the film, and the first production Shelby Cobra.<\/p>\n<p>Ford itself also offers interested auto enthusiasts a bounty of resources for learning more about the story behind the upcoming film.
