SIA Flashback – Fords on the Green

Fifteen-year-old show coverage? Sure, why not, especially when it’s Richard Lentinello’s look (in SIA #199, February 2004) at the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance – specifically of the special classes the concours put together that year to celebrate Ford’s centennial, including pre-war coachbuilt Fords, GT40s, and woodies. While Ford products – particularly Lincolns – have before and since found their way to the Pebble Beach show field, this was the Blue Oval’s chance to shine at the world’s most prestigious car show.
