One final tour of the famed IMS Museum basement. That’s what’s in store on this week’s episode of Behind the Bricks, as IMS President Doug Boles checks out some of the Museum’s most prized possessions in one of the most coveted places at IMS - the basement of the Museum. The IMS Museum basement is no longer open, as the IMS Museum has begun its renovation process that will see a brand new museum open in April 2025.

Indy during the 1950s/60s/70s is a remarkable era. Great owners & drivers; incredible gains in technology, breathtaking increases in speed. As horsepower, brakes and tires improved, drivers and teams were able to safely wring-out performance that nobody ever believed would be possible.

I won my index at the Lucas Oil Dragway in September of 2019 and the next day went to Kiss the Bricks for my First Win at Indy and see the museum. I will never forget it. It is a very Special Place and am looking forward to seeing this in 2025.

This was amazing. Its a shame I won't be able to visit the museum when I make my first trip to the 500 in 2024, but I'm looking forward to going back in 2025 and seeing the amazing renovations.

On a visit to the museum I couldn’t find my dad but had seen him talking with a guy, they were pointing out things on a few cars! Well they both disappeared, come to find out it was Donald Davidson who took my dad to the basement for a private tour!! We connected when they came up from the elevator(as my sister and I had been looking for our dad Donald). A special memory that I will cherish as my dad is in Memory Care and Donald has since retired. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall as these two Donald’s swapped stories!! I had to edit this, I thought Donald D had passed but have been since corrected!

Awesome. I sure wish I hadn’t passed up the chance to see the basement in person when I had the chance. I love the rich history of F1 and it’s champions at the Indy 500. And that Fangio Mercedes W196! Wow…

I was lucky to get access to "The Basement" about 15 years ago. Back then it was stacked deep with rows of cars, much more packed than in this video. They had several large Packards and a powder blue Cord along with many, many pace cars including the very first Dodge Viper to roll off the line. Saw Janet's car, Vucky's 1973 Sugaripe Prune Special, and a stage coach which had come straight off the set of a movie starring a famous move star whose name escapes me. Saw Pancho's 85 pole winner and Scott Brayton's car from the same year. Perhaps the most unique item was a Rolls Royce with bullet proof glass that had once belonged to Hitler and was purchased by Tony Hulman from the Shaw of Iran.....or so the story goes. It was a an opportunity I will never forget.

As crazy as this may sound...the basement had always been a sacred place...as much as I think it should be open...a part of me feels it should remain a secret aspect...😢Doug you know best to keeping the speedway important.

You should have seen the basement when they first started the tours. It was jam packed with all kinds of cars, so much that it was difficult to get around in. The lighting wasn't the best, and there were no signs describing each car. Now, (or at least until the basement tours ceased and the basement was emptied), it's more like an exhibit in the museum. Still great to see, but I preferred the old basement.

Okay right off the bat this curator/guide pissed me off. He bables on about the Mercedes F-1 car that wasn't an F-1 car(F-1 is for OPEN WHEEL cars only)and only mentions that Jochin Rindt drove the last Ferrari to win Lemans. Now for the rest of the story. Not only is this the last Ferrari to ever win Lemans in 1965, it is the first car by an AMERICAN RACING TEAM to win Lemans(NART-North American Racing Team) oh and Rindts TEAMMATE?!!! An American named Masten Gregory! The Kansas City Flash! The Ferrari team wanted the car in second to win because it had Dunlop tires(which is why it was in second due to a blown tire)which sponsored Ferrari. The NART Ferrari had Goodyear tires. The factory actually approached The late great Luigi Chinetti, NART team owner to swap places and they'd make it worth his while with big discounts on future cars(he was the North American dealer for Ferrari). He basically told them to go pound sand as he was flabbergasted they would tell his drivers to not win Lemans. Leaving Masten Gregory's name out is akin to leaving out Ken Miles when telling the tale of Shelby Automotive.😠 The internet will keep you clueless people. It's no substitute for a book...EVER!!

The Mercedes W196 had two configurations, including the Streamliner configuration shown in the Museum. It was used at high speed tracks (Reims, Monza, Silverstone) and not only participated in Formula 1 races, but won several. So the guide was correct on that point.

The Mercedes is a W196. The W196 won three F1 Grand Prix in 1954-55 (1954 French GP and 1954 & 1955 Italian GPs). It is the only non-open wheel car to win a Grand Prix.

NART was backed by one American and one Dutch man, and founded by Chinetti, who was Italian. Calling it an American team might be a bit of a stretch.
