Porsche 917/10

This toy depicts the Penske Racing 1972 Can-Am championship car of George Follmer.  Follmer won five of the nine races that year, breaking the McLaren stranglehold on the series.  McLaren had won the championship for all but the first year the series had been running.

Penske Racing would win the championship the following year as well and the monopolies played a large part in the collapse of the series.
