For the 1950 edition of the 24 Heures du Mans, Briggs Cunningham took two Cadillacs to La Sarthe, a Coupe de Ville and the famous Spider “Le Monstre”. Without a doubt one of the most awesome duo of cars to ever race at Le Mans

Le Mans 1990
Porsche 962C #6, driven by Jean-Louis Ricci, Henri Pescarolo and Jacques Laffite. Only managed 14th place, but has an AWESOME livery.
And I have one .
Chevron B36
One of the really cool things about Le Mans is that you can see some really wacky cars 
. Like this Chevron B36 from 1987. Piloted by José Thibault and Alain Heinrich, it had to abandon after only 18 laps.
Unfortunately, this one is not available in 1:43.
One of the coolest Le Mans’ car stories EVER!
This one was totally new to me. Doing some research on a certain car, I came upon the story of the Whittington Brothers. Courtesy of VINWiki, if you have 10 minutes to spare, sit back and enjoy

The story behind the 1966 Le Mans Ford win – how 8 m changed history
After seeing this you just can’t avoid feeling bad for Ken Miles and a bit miffed at Ford for causing the Mk. II #2 to take the podium 
. Still, the best Le Mans documentary I’ve seen this year, bar none.
Emanuele Pirro, Le Mans 1981
Emanuelle Pirro, waiting for the clock to hit the 4:00 pm mark at La Sarthe, on June 13th, 1981. He shared a Lancia Beta Montecarlo with fellow Italian Beppe Gabbiani. They crashed on the 47th lap and had to abandon.
24 Heures du Mans, 1965
Anyone recognizes the gentleman on the right?
Stumbled upon this nice pic on the web while doing research on a few cars and had the mind to share.
The Pink Pig finally wins at La Sarthe
In 1971 the Pink Pig had it’s chance to win Le Mans, but over-stressed brakes caused the car to crash close to the half point of the race.
This year, 47 years later, a Pink Pig crosses the finish line in first, and the Der Trüffeljäger von Zuffenhausen was avenged.
24 Heures du Mans
Will Toyota finally win?!?
Not the best of wins IMO, since none of the big dogs are around this year, but still a win. Still 30 minutes to go, so let’s see…
UPDATE!
And yes, they did it!
