This was a fun video to shoot. I have used the photo of me with my father in front of his 1965 Mustang taken in 1969 in nearly every presentation I give at Ford. I flew to Sarasota last weekend when dad purchased an identical Mustang! We had a blast recreating the photograph and

I was honored to give Bill McCubbin a tour of the @Ford Heritage Fleet last week. Bill is a hearty and hale 102 years old and tells two amazing Ford stories. Right out of high school, he hitchhiked from his home in Kentucky to Detroit, where he went to work building B24

Ken Welch wrote a fantastic account of Bill McCubbins visit to the Heritage Fleet. What a tremendous honor to give our 102 year old veteran Ford dealer this tour. #FordHeritageFleet .

Ever wonder why racing victories are celebrated with a champagne shower or how many cigars @Ford ordered to celebrate the 1966 victory over Ferrari at Le Mans? All the answers are in this video I recorded in Le Mans as I set up exhibits at the Ford Performance hospitality center.

It is always exciting to see your archive collection used to support new and future projects! That was the case last week with the launch of the all-new Ford F-150 Lobo. The Lobo continues the tradition of factory assembled “from the factory” street trucks” like the 1999

The "road car" mentioned was the famed Mark III version of the GT40. Only a few were built, but boy were they beautiful! #GT40MarkIII

The mid engine Mustang prototype was the much discussed Mustang that never was. Later called the Mach 2, this is the early development of the concept.

Develop the J car that would become the Mark IV and win at Le Mans in 1967. Number 3 was used extensively on the test track but never raced while the others did.

Fun moring reading Roy Lunn's chronology files researching a Le Mans exhibit. Lunn headed Ford Advanced Vehicles and later Kar Kraft. If you think you have an aggressive "To Do" list, check out his from 1966. #LeMans #KarKraft #RoyLunn
