    Some of you know that I’m a huge Phil Hill fan. I’ve been collecting model cars and have been interested in motor racing history almost all my life. But out of all the drivers that I have come across, Phil Hill is my ultimate hero…American, F1 champion, Le Mans winner, Sebring winner, and longtime Ferrari driver.

    I wanted to do something out of respect and admiration for him so I created my own Facebook page and site. These are just fan sites and not the official of course (and not profiting in anyway).

    I really admire peoples Ferrari knowledge in this forum and I hope people can contribute if they can. (ex: posting pics of Phil or his cars on the Facebook page that might be interesting or rare pics).
    And if anyone spots incorrect info on the site or can add additional info, please send me an email.

    Thank you!

    Phil also did a Shell commercial in either a California or 250PF in the early 60s but I haven't been able to find a video anywhere.

    What a time machine. All those Ferraris lined up in the final assembly building! The Maserati factory!

    Film that evokes Pete Coltrin's photographs. Fantastic find. Thanks.

    Glad to see the Fuller Brush catalogue listed. My dear mother gave me one of those to look at in 1959 when I was a little kid and it was my first encounter with Ferrari. I wanted to keep it but she made me return it to the friendly salesman but I never forgot it. Picked on up on EBay a few years ago for my collection. Good memories for sure. Great job on the page.

    Thanks for sharing!

    The Fuller Brush magazine is probably my favorite. Great photos of Phil in there.

    I'm still working on the site little by little when I have time.

    Thank you! I'll look for that clip.

    If I can't find it I might have to do some editing for that part of the movie.
