Hey.... I just found a photo of O. C. Welch and his GT in his showroom. I bought my diesel pickup there so I can't cast aspersions, but he is kinda big to fit in the GT. I remember he always had a live goat in his car commercials when we were down there. That was a little weird.
But to Stan's post about "The Deuce", Henry Ford II, riding in the GT-40 with Shelby - O. C. kinda looks like the Deuce, too! He would really have to contort to get into a car with a roofline at 40" ! I've heard that he sold a couple Ford GTs to people on or near Hilton Head Island - Wouldn't surprise me, considering the neighborhood GDP.
