Great short version of this awesome story..

Cool seeing docs from negotiations.

But FORD prevailed and again.

Thanks for posting...best 15 minutes I've spent in a while...
 
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.
 
yes -that was a cool and complete summary of the events … in just a 15 minute watch....

Really enjoyed watching this, and all the details and footage. Thanks for putting this up Iconic.
 
time stamp mark 6:11 ".....he and his team took amphetamine so they could stay awake all night...." LOL! Great documentary - thanks for sharing!
 
Great stuff. Nice summary, and a few tidbits I had not heard before.

The gold car looks so fantastic!
