Hello all -
I grew up in the Dearborn area, my Dad worked for the Ford museum.
As a teenager in the 60's I worked at the Ford owned Dearborn Inn which was the first airport hotel for Henry's airport - now the test track/proving grounds. My days were spent taking care of the 18 acres of grounds so whatever test mule thundered over for lunch got my attention. It was a wonderful time to be a curious 16 year old boy! I moved north many years ago but have stayed a member of the Museum all these years and have many pictures of the car collection. I have been thinking about living the fantasy and purchasing a GT40 - perhaps this summer. In the meantime I will be learning all I can here.
Thank you to all who have generously documented the processes involved in building these cars.
