Art Evans, an iconic figure in the realm of racing, left an indelible mark on the racing world. The essence and worth of this extraordinary Devin lie in its rich racing history. The sheer dedication of time, resources, and skilled professionals invested in preparing this car for top-notch racing events is what makes it an irresistible acquisition.\n\nArt Evans, 1934-2021\n jamesjdonnelly Uncategorized November 28, 2021 1 Minute\nWe pause to give some sad recognition to a guy who really cared about the history of road racing in the United States, and especially during its glorious formative years in Southern California. Art Evans was the founding presence who established the Fabulous Fifties non-group, as he liked to call it, of worthies who took part in the great California sports car boom that roared into existence during the 1950s. Art, who passed on last week, lived the era as few others did. Before he got into research and publishing, Art and his dad allied with Bill Devin to create and market Devin\u2019s line of sports car kits, which launched the careers of numerous star drivers. A West Point graduate, Art began racing his MG in 1955 against the likes of Phil Hill, Ken Miles and even James Dean, during the latter\u2019s brief racing career and even briefer lifetime.\n\nArt teamed with California sports car icons Johnny Von Neumann and Vasek Polak to organize an early Southern California vintage festival for historic racing cars, and their drivers, at Palm Springs in 1985. His enduring legacy, however, will be as a journalist and historian, which is how I got to know the guy during my Hemmings stint. His 2001 book, Fabulous Fifties, illustrated by his own photography, was a person recounting of the people who brought road racing to life in California. Art continued to write throughout his life, one of his final titles being a respected, and necessary, review of the contributions that World War II veterans provided to American motorsport.
