That's a young Edsel Ford at the 12 minute mark. His dad (the Deuce), was still an imposing figure and retained all of the passion for the LeMans triumph so many years later when I met him. When telling his story, you'd have sworn he was part Italian, with all that 'hand waving'. ;-))

Thanks for posting, a great moment in Ford history.

Great stuff. Nice summary, and a few tidbits I had not heard before.

The gold car looks so fantastic!
