Benson Ford. Is he one of the younger members of the Ford family, like Edsel's age? There was one younger Ford who 30 years ago worked at Stroppe's shop and secretly owned a Pantera (hid it so his old man wouldn't find out). The ex-Ford family car I am more interested in is the black Ferrari shown at Pebble last year that was supposedly given by Enzo Ferrari to Henry Ford II. It was about a 1951 model with Vignale coachwork. Ferrari's car output must have been miniscule back then so I can't figure out why he would give a car away but my only guess is that he hoped that, if Hank the Deuce liked the car, then maybe Enzo could call upon him some time to make some small part. Don't know if he ever asked for the favor, though.
