I do not do many shows but I do a few for a freind. These are top line event like the Breakers Concourse D'Elegance or Winter park etc.

What I find interesting is the organizer of these events always want me to show the Ford GT. He says it is a crowd pleaser and it is hard to find them for a major show. This gentleman organizes these shows for a living.

He always asks for the Ford GT although I have other cars he could chose such as a Ferrari F430F1, Lotus Sport, '65 Shelby Cobra, '65 Vette roadster,
2007 911 Cab.

Did I mention this gentleman was a Ferrari salesman and a certified judge for major woxtic car events.

He alsways wants the FGT!

Life is good :)

Lee :cheers

A crowd pleaser it is. The GT seems to turn everything else invisible especially the Vettes. It is the only new car I have ever had that I can take to a show and bring home a trophy almost every time. :thumbsup

With 10 Ferrari's driving down the road and one FGT guess which one car will get admired the most?
That's right...gotta love it!

'Had mine in a show last March. 'Parked it right beside a 'Vette. And, you're right, Tony. As far as the crowd was concerned, the 'Vette was invisible the whole day.

The GT is a one-car Car Show

You don't even have to go to a car show for the GT to cause a stir. On the way back from the restaurant during the Road Rally last month, I asked Tony to pull off to the side so I could get some pics of the GT's heading back. It was amazing how many cars stopped to check out the GT, and asked Tony to show them the engine, etc., etc.

It's a beautiful car that won't go unnoticed, even in a sea full of European exotics.

BTW, thanks for the ride, Tony - it was GREAT! :cheers

Jeff, it was a pleasure to have you in the navigator seat and great to see you again after many years. You probably saved my life. For those who may not know, Jeff has been very involved with SAAC since it's birth and has not missed a convention yet (32+ years). He is the man that got me started with SAAC almost 30 years ago at SAAC III in Pasadena, CA. It's been a great ride and let's keep it going. :thumbsup

Quick but true story. Bought my GT from a Bentley, Ferrari & Lambo dealer in LI N.Y.

Guy who delivered the car said the GT got more looks and :thumbsup on the delivery truck then any Ferrari or Lambo he's ever delivered.

Made my day.

The car is a major crowd magnet. Even more so when you raise the clam shell. :eek

Also..whats a Vette???

To the best of their knowledge there MAY be just one.

They heard that she lives in Detroit area. Still unverified.
