GT101 vs. 102, 103, etc.

Perusing Spain's and Hodge's books and period pictures, I found a small difference on GT101 and all subsiquent cars. The exterior door handle on 101 is centered in the side scoop recess. All the following cars have the handle located about 2/3s of the way up in the recess.

Another useless fact to know and tell!

Does make you wonder about the door moulds as the I would have thought the handle recess was "moulded in"...perhaps the following cars were done with different moulds?
 
Rick, what a great find! This is the type of "Ford lore" (as I call it) that I live for. Here are pics of GT101 and I'm pretty sure GT102 (or at least GT102-104). Other items, like the lack of a rear spoiler add to the one-off body shape of GT101.
