The only grass in sight at the show is in the pavilion area, which contained a dazzling array of vintage Ford-powered race cars, including one of the rarest and most valuable Fords ever built: a Shelby Daytona Coupe worth about $5 million (no, that’s not a typo). Only six were built in 1964 and 1965 for the sole purpose of beating then-dominant Ferrari in the GT World Championships, a feat it accomplished by winning the World Manufacturer’s Championship in 1965—which remained the only win for an American team until the Dodge Viper repeated the feat several times in the late ’90s. Other legendary racecars included a GT-40, several 427 Cobras, and a Thunderbolt, along with a slew of vintage stock cars and representatives from virtually every other motorsports venue Ford has ever competed in.
