Winning Ford GT40s Will Rule Pebble Beach In August


2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'EleganceJust this week, June 1, 2016, Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance confirmed, “the owners of every Ford GT40 that won a major international race have agreed to send their cars…”  to the annual showcase of the greatest cars in the world on August 21, 2016. Every year the selection committee comes up with something new, they are making history yet again!

1957 Ford GT40 Mk IV Dan Gurney Le Mans Winner-00867The Fords will hold court in the 50th Anniversary of Ford GT40 Victory at Le Mans class. It was in 1966 when the GT40 Mk IIs kicked Ferrari off the podium, finishing 1-2-3 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

 

Many of the winning drivers of these fabulous Fords will also be in attendance along with Edsel B. Ford Jr. who attended the 1966 race at Le Mans with his father. To see all the winning cars together in one spot will be amazing.

Get your tickets soon. This might be the year to do Dawn Patrol, to watch and hear the Fords rumble onto the field in the dramatic morning mist. See you there!
