Win races on Sunday, sell cars on Monday

Here is an amazing story with some historic significance to Ford, Ferrari, and much of the automotive industry. I brought this up over a year ago in an article I wrote for CPU Magazine regarding Ford's first, second, and third place winning entries into the twenty-four hours of Lemans... They actually cleaned up three years in a row before deciding they proved their point.

Jim Glickenhaus, is a discerning automobile collector, and the people over at CirkitVision managed to spend a day with him - and what a day it must have been. Anyone who knows anything about Jim's collection knows that he has some of the most collectable cars ever - so there some great photos at the links below.

Many of you may not know this, but at one point Ferrari was being courted by Ford, and in fact Ferrari was also looking to potentially partner with Ford on the other side of the pond. What ended up happening is a story that has become legend in the world of auto racing, and it changed the face of racing forever.

Though this has nothing to do with the PC industry, there are some profound parallels that can be (and have been) drawn into this space. I love this story so much that I wanted to share it with you, let me know what you think.

There are currently two episodes, I'm anxiously awaiting for episode three to hear about the Italian princess that Henry Ford II was dating at the time of this war.
