Luca di Montezemolo

Yes.

So listeners, most of this is from the book Go Like Hell, which is the book that Ford versus Ferrari is based on.

The movie, yeah.

So in 1963, Henry Ford II, which...

Notably, this is the grandson of Henry Ford I. There was Henry Ford, then Edsel, then Henry Ford II.

And he's looking to make his mark.

I mean, at this point, it's third-generation ownership.

Ford is this great American company.

There's a lot of people that are sort of throwing barbs saying, well, I mean, that was your grandfather, and then that was your father.

But, like, how much of this is really you?

That's starting to kind of weigh on him.

He decides that Ford needs to be in the racing business to change their image and stimulate sales for the new generation.

Now, over in the racing land of Ferrari, they're on a hot streak.

We've been talking about their production at this point in time, but they had just won Le Mans in 1958 and then all in a row 1960, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65.

So if you are interested in entering racing, either you got to beat Ferrari or you got to own Ferrari.

Yeah.

So, the deuce, as Henry Ford II was known.

What a great racing moniker, the deuce.

Right?

Right?
