A street model of the Ford GT-40, the Mk III, was made in very small numbers but was not intended for racing.<\/p>\n<p>During the discussion, participants will use the cars on display to illustrate design details that are important in the evolution of the car.

Executives, led by Lee Iacocca, determined that the growing sport of auto racing would be a good way to project a dynamic image. Rebuffed after trying to buy Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, Henry Ford II gave the order for Ford to build a car that would win the torturous Le Mans 24-hour endurance race. To expedite the design of the car, Ford executives contracted with a small English manufacturer, Lola, whose owner Eric Broadley had built a compact sports coupe with a Ford V-8 engine in the back. While this car, the Lola GT Mk 6, was not the first Ford GT, it was, along with the 1962 Mustang I, a design inspiration for the first Mk I built in 1964. This car came to be called the Ford GT-40 since its roofline was only 40 inches above the ground.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-619275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1230\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone.jpg 1230w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ford-GT-Event-Simeone-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1230px) 100vw, 1230px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Initially, the new car, which was built in England, was not successful but with the modifications made by the ex-hot rodders at Shelby American in California, the Ford GT became a world-beater, winning the Le Mans race in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the Museum displays, hours of operation, and directions, can be found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simeonemuseum.org\/\">www.simeonemuseum.org<\/a>, or by calling 215-365-7233.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The birth and evolution of the Ford GT \u2013 the iconic car that won Le Mans four times in the 1960s \u2013 will be explored at an event at the Simeone Museum in Philadelphia on June 4th.
