"Bert Swift Associate Art Director   The , particularly in the blue and orange Gulf-Wyer paint scheme, is one of the cars I love the most. As with many of my generation, it comes from watching the film Le Mans on TV as a young boy at home with my brother Tom. The wild shape, raucous sound and outrageous speed of this intimidating car attracted me like nothing else I&amp;#039;d seen. The fact that I had a 917 AFX car that dominated the family slot-car track only reinforced my affection for this great machine. Sure, the cinematography played a role in the impression that night with my brother, but the drivers became heroes and the 917 became the ultimate definition of a racing car.
