Wow, first 1/2 day of the 2018 Houston Auto Show and the 2017 Ford GT is the hit of the show and were not into the weekend yet! Sitting in front of the only entrance to the show it’s the first thing you see when you enter. Second pretty lady with my Girl I’ve posted here. Angela is a model and a close friend of ours and loves the GT. I even did a TV interview with the Telemundo TV station in Houston this morning and it may be the first interview in English they’ve done because I can’t speak Spanish, Ha Ha More to come this weekend and the crowds get bigger. Stay tuned, I’m in Heaven.

Open the doors and let them in and guess what they see first? Records are being rewritten at the 2018 Houston Auto Shoe and my Girl is causing the Excitement and were just starting the weekend this morning. Ford display manager wants me to do the walk around with their newly trained lady every 3 hours and it is a blast to talk About the Ford GT Concierge program and my Beautiful Girl! My feet after 8-9 hours but I’m in Heaven visiting with the crowd. Stay tuned, more to come, we’re just starting this morning. Thank You Ford, Raj, Henry III, and Dave for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. I am working to be one of your best Ambassadors as all the owners are.
Another New Ford GT Friend I met yesterday at the Auto Show. He starts Medical School at Texas Tech next summest. Remarkable young man who knows and loves Ford, GT History and the Ford GT Racing program. My Ford GT has brought me closer to so many new friends and enthusiasts. I’m having a blast representing Ford Motor Co. and the Ford GT! One more day and the crowds are setting new records. I’m winning the Auto Show and the GT is running 1,2 at the Daytona 24 hrs. Race! Go Blue! More to come!

Tomy, Great job representing Ford and the GT. Beautiful display. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.
A couple of more shots from yesterday of my Girl and the enjoyment of her fans. For those of you who live close to a New Car Auto Show where Ford has a designated display offer your GT to be displayed in and you will love it. Ford cannot send GT’s to every show and they are very excited and work with the Ford show display managers to feature your GT, because it is the BIG DRAW for the show. I have been doing walk arounds with a young lady hired by Ford to talk about all the Ford Display Cars and she is very limited as to her knowledge of our GT’s. It comes over very personal when the owner and a Ford Rep. can give information about our GT’s. People are shocked that my GT is privately owned and not a traveling Shoe Car that rides in a trailer from show to show. I have answered every question imaginable and a couple I couldn’t. The second black caliper on the rear wheels (painted black) I’m telling people after my study is the emergency brake I hope??? Someone pleas let me know!!! Enough for now more to come on our last day. Our numbers in attendance is up 15-25% even with not too good weather as people here in Houston are FORD GT wild!

yes , Tomy... the small black caliper , on rears only, is used exclusively for the electric parking brake.

Thank you Andy, I guessed that’s what it is! That’s the only questions I wasn’t sure of. Questions about the guts of the engine compared to the guts of a truck V6 I don’t even try as it is still pretty secretive. I’m in my eliment and love it. Tell your family to bring Ford on Home with a WIN! Thanks again.
