- Vintage Car Card from Edito Services - ©1991 - 5 7/8" X 5 7/8"
- 1964-1969 Ford GT 40 (United States) - Top speed of 198 mph / 310 hp
- The Ford GT40 is a high performance American-British endurance racing car, built and designed in England (Mk I, Mk II, and Mk III) and in the United States (Mk IV), and powered by a series of American-built engines, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times, from 1966 to 1969 (1966 being the Mk II, 1967 the Mk IV, and 1968-1969 the oldest chassis design, the Mk I). The Mk IV GT40, which won the race in 1967, remains, to this day, the only car designed and built entirely in the United States to claim an overall win at Le Mans.
- The picture shown on this card is the 1969 Mk I version.
