Artifact Overview

Edsel Ford II joined his father, Henry Ford II, at the 24 Hour of Le Mans in 1966. It was an exciting race to witness. After two disappointing years in which Ford entries failed to finish, the company's GT40 cars took first, second and third places. Ford won Le Mans again in 1967 with the improved Mark IV car.
