Scroll through 100 years plus of Indianapolis 500 pace cars, from 1911 to 2013, with the model name and driver of each one.  Even if you aren’t a diehard motors ports fan, this is a virtual drive through the history of our love affair with the automotibile.

The list of Indy 500 pace cars  includes Studebaker, Cord and Duesenberg, which were manufactured in Indiana – the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was built so they could test drive their models on a track.

1963 Chrysler 300

Plus other long-gone model names, including La Salle, Hudson, DeSoto, Packard and Stutz,  and nameplates which have disappeared more recently, including Mercury and Pontiac.

2011 Chevroler Camaro SS

Scroll through Indy 500 Pace Car history, from the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray back to the beginning and the 1911 Stoddard Dayton.  Click here to read my article on the woman designer of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, published on AOL Autos.
