I thought it was interesting to learn that this was the experimental J car
that Ford was working on. It is also the J car that Ken Miles was driving when he was killed. It was one really ugly looking car. So much so that even though it turned the fastest time but was considered to be in need of more development. therefore, in spite of turning the fastest lap in time trials, the car was not raced. Looking like a breadvan, the car was aerodynamically unstable.
I had never seen this prototype before but I'm sure happy that it
did not make production for race.
