‘Ford v Ferrari’ Ford GT40 and Ferrari P330 coming to 3 Midwest hot-rod shows

A Ford GT40 and Ferrari P330 that were used in the Oscar-winning blockbuster film “Ford v Ferrari” are going on a tour of the American Midwest, appearing as part of a custom show-car series starting this weekend in Kansas City and later making stops in Detroit and Chicago. The Detroit Free Press reports that the GT40, in a green-and-white livery adorned with the number 95 on the bonnet and doors, is an original race car developed for the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans, while the P330 was fabricated to spec for the film. The former is owned by 20th Century Studios, while the latter is on loan from a private collector in Minnesota. “People will probably never get a chance to see these again,” Peter Toundas, president of Championship Auto Shows, told the publication.> > > > > > > > > > > > > View this post on Instagram> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hollywood glamour comes to @meguiars Detroit Autorama and @oreillyautoparts World of Wheels in Kansas City & Chicago with the actual P330 Ferrari and Ford GT40 used in the Oscar winning film Ford v Ferrari .
