The name was changed from GT40 to Ford GT because Ford did not own rights to the name and could not reach an agreement with the aftermarket parts company that does own it.
Yes the car was built as part of the 100th anniversary. Heck the headlights have 100 right in the design.
Submitted a memo to call it the GT44 or 45, Ford didn't like it since the connotation of a 44 Magnum and the Colt 45. So sent back another memo to go with GT1 or GT100 but to no avail. IMO to many things out there in the world that have the GT moniker. Could have found a name that possibly gave the company a new statement for the next 100 years. But that's what the pay the big bucks for the letters GT. Damn that was hard and expensive. I'm sure it cost them several million just to come up with that. The GT90 prototype called it several years earlier to bad Ford doesn't listen to themselves.:bash:
the car is 44 inches tall. they should have named it the GT-44
Freddy - I dropped mine 2" Is it a FGT 42?
