OVERVIEW:
Sports Cars Illustrated was originally published by
Henry Scharf and Motor Publications Inc. It started in July, 1955
and was sold to Ziff-Davis sometime in 1956. It ended with the March, 1961 issue when it was renamed
Car and Driver. Content focused primarily on small
European sports cars including road tests and racing activities.
Besides publishing the monthly title, editors Ken Purdy and later John Christy also created these annuals on sports cars. These started the year after Ziff-Davis purchased the title and ended with the re-titling to Car and Driver.
