2008 Ford Mustang Saleen Dan Gurney H281SC Signature Edition
2008 Ford Mustang Saleen Dan Gurney H281SC Signature Edition - Ford Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
This is a car for the rich old guy who loves muscle cars and watched Dan Gurney kick butt back in the day.

How much is this thing, anyway? Fifty grand? Fifty-five grand? I guess it doesn't much matter: the Mustang fans out there who are forever on the hunt for the newest, latest, greatest, most different Mustang variant will love it, and enough of them will pony up (pardon the pun) whatever it takes to have one of these over-the-top pony cars in their garage to make the exercise worthwhile for Ford to have undertaken.

Vile Gossip: Interview With Ford of America's President Mark Fields' Mother
Interview With Ford of America's President Mark Fields' Mother - Elinor Fields Interview by Jean Jennings - Automobile Magazine
Mrs. Fields on the subject of cookies, the Flex, and her Ford Exec son, Mark.

Ford of America's president, Mark Fields, needs to visit his mom more often. What with the daily pressures of saving Ford and all, he could use a bit more of his very down-to-earth mother's brand of support. Elinor Fields lives not far from the old family home in Paramus, New Jersey. She is the mother behind a son who has navigated his way through an economics degree at Rutgers, an MBA at Harvard, and what has been a stunning career at Ford. Fields headed Mazda in Japan at age 38, the youngest person to ever run a Japanese car company. He went on to lead the Premier Automotive Group, now dismantled, and he sits at the right hand of Alan Mulally, trying to move his Way Forward program, well, forward.
