Griffith Borgeson

Griffith Borgeson (December 21, 1918 - June 29, 1997) was an influential American race car historian, described by the Society of Automotive Engineers as "one of the world's preeminent automotive historians".

His most well-known work, "The Golden Age of the American Racing Car", almost single-handedly rescued the memory of an entire era of brilliant race car work in the United States, an era whose memory was being lost.

Borgeson was editor-in-chief of "Motor Trend" magazine; he also wrote for "Sports Car Illustrated" magazine (now "Car and Driver").
