I could fill at least a month with images of the

70's my favourite period,being a teenager at the time,these cars really got me hooked.

the readily available Ford DFV was responsible for many new constructors joining the Grand Prix circus.

There was an enormous variety of car shapes,aerodynamics where getting better
but wind tunnels were not in common use yet,so all
the cars didn't look all the same.

boxy cars curvy cars,big bluff noses,needle noses airboxes,big fat slicks at the bag,but not that much new technologie until Renault re-introduced the turbo.
