Actually Edsel Ford's name does not appear on the Advisory board until the October/November 1977 issue of The Marque, about 1 1/2 years after SAAC was formed.
The rest of the names at that time on the advisory board included:
CS, Bondurant, Don Roberts, Allen Grant, Dick Smith, Al Dowd, Hal Keck, Ed Leslie, Dan Gurney, Pete Brock, Chuck Cantwell, Lew Spencer, Phil Remington, Tom Payne. Payne was also added at the same time as Edsel Ford.
