Funny how human it is. The leader of one of the largest most powerful automobile companies on the planet and all he wanted was to show his father what his company had created.
Yes imagine yourself driving or driven in something that goes from 0 to 60 in 2 business days then you try what was probably the ultimate race car of it’s time
@@tigersfan14agreed! He came from a line of men who made nice cars for the working man. To confront in person what the technology that his family helped advance like that must have been an incredible experience.
I had the exact same reaction! I thought it was a big man getting knocked down a few pegs, but it was a man going back to his childhood admiration for his father
That didn't happen in real life, but for the story it tells in the movie it works incredibly great. You really get a feeling for the friendship they had not just in the movie but also in reality.
@@Ulteras27 I was thinking exactly the same thing. That very last line was good, but - there’s no way that Carol Shelby would have, in a million years, given him ownership of his company. No way. And no way he would’ve even made that offer. Great scene in a great movie, though.
What most people seem to forget is that Henry Ford didn't just make a powerful long-lasting brand of motorcars, but he also helped to pioneer the Weekends that most all Businesses have to this very day. Henry's the reason why people can take their Saturdays off from work to rest and relax with their families.
2:00-2:50 And the best part is, even though he's clearly uncomfortable with this, Shelby can't even be mad or that uncomfortable because he understands something of what Henry Ford's going through...
Funny how this is *the* scene that shows the true power of the GT. Not the Daytona race, not the Le Mans showdown, but a quick little backyard lap with 200 pounds of extra weight.
A lot of people think when he says he wishes his father could see this he means Henry ford, Edsel Ford (Henry’s son) was his father and the reason we had stylish fords in the 30s and 40s bc he was very interested in what a car was capable of and how good they can look so yes edsel would absolutely love the gt40
Edsel would've been elated. Along with his son, he'd be crying and laughing too, probably telling Shelby "I've been dreaming of this car for my whole life."
Shelby IS still a name that brought Ford little bit higher on vehicle industry standards :) if Shelby didnt get involved in Fords path we wouldnt see such great machines like GT40 or Cobra
@YernBelfus400 I can appreciate recognizing the difference, but to me, whether fiction or nonfiction, the feelings a man experiences and the emotions that stem from them are the heart of my comment. I may have taken forvgranted that pretty much everyone knows that anything made in Hollywood is a large % fictional, even based on a true story.
Those who have ridden in with a fantastic driver know... It is an amazing experience beyond words. Everyone should feel unbridled power. Then, and only then, will they appreciate the talent it takes to drive.
so true I grew up watching MOTOGP and F1 but never really experienced how does race bike and race cars feel like Until Recently I drove Kawasaki H2 and all other liter bikes only then I fully understand the guts and the skills those riders have. I really have a new whole appreciation for those guys.
It’s my life’s dream. I’ve been behind factory power before and got that itch for more and ever since then I’ve wanted to sit in with an experienced driver and let them go balls to the wall. The best roller coaster only a few get to experience.
I love this movie. This scene. The fight on the lawn with the groceries. Leo being a dick to Pete. And the final death of Ken Miles. And thats just off the top of my head. Its one banger scene after another.
This reminds me of the video gag where the profession driver goes driving with the driving instructor and she ends up whooping and hollering and enjoying herself a little too much.
Without Shelby ford wouldn’t have kept rising the way it did, guaranteed. Nobody brags about a plain old mustang, but a Shelby mustang is something you yell about lol
I like how you hear the sound of a transmission shifting but you never see Matt Damon's left hand (the one he would shift with) come off the steering wheel, lolol
God I HATE this character. Such a fucking little bitch who kissed ass and wanted his ass kissed which why he constant fucked Ken Miles over. Ken wouldn’t do that. I wanted to see him really get his ass beat when he screwed him out of winning the race at the end.
@@cleess2836 yeah that’s what I’m saying, his left hand is on the steering wheel, so he’s shifting with his right hand, but the only thing over there is the door…
@@crimsonlight4205 no, it's not. I told you: the shifting lever in on the right side of the driver so that the drivers could shift with their dominant hand, the right hand. This in spite of the car being RHD (because it suits the Le Mans track better).
On the right hand side, the transmission linkage was routed to be over one of the fuel tanks. Look up the interior of the GT40 from 66 and you'll see where it is.
The "Ford GT40" was in reality the British Lola Mk6, with the word "Ford" stuck on it. The team was British, driver Ken Miles was British, even the Ford engines were built in England. The only thing American about the entire operation, was the giant checks Ford wrote to fund it.
The GT40 was designed and built in England. But the other reason for being right hand drive is at Le Mans most of the turns are to the right, being a clockwise circuit. Having the driver on the right puts the weight on the inside of the right hand turns. The Ferrari's were right hand drive too.
@@maxlimon707probably cuz the drivers were all American meaning they all are used to sitting on the left. Since they made their race cars right under drive, they probably put the gear lever on that side to maximize the drivers efficiency
@ericgu9036 you'd think that but look into the porches and stuff and you'll see it on them like that too. There's a reason for it I just can't remember what it was
Honestly, when I come back home from being overseas in a left hand drive country (I travel a lot) I reflexively shift with my left hand for a bit, and keep hitting the door.
It's a right hand drive car with the gear stick on the right between driver and door. The film is correct in how he's changing gears with his right hand.
This movie came out right after my dad passed away. This scene made me ball like a child. My dad didn’t like racing or anything like that but I understood it.
That's what I felt every time (and even much more) when I gave full throttle on my Yamaha V- max in the 1990s. 3.1 seconds till 100km/h but especially monstrous torque. Even at giving full throttle while already "cruising" along with 190km/h. Always a kick in the back like being hit by a wrecking ball.
Henry’s dad, Edsel the 1st, dreamed of building fast cars. Unfortunately, he was never able to do so. This car remains the only times an American vehicle won Le Mans. Four times. It also was Ferrari’s curse. It would take nearly 60 years for them to win again, which was just last year. Say what you want about American engineering. Whenever they want to achieve something, they can and will achieve it
I absolutely despised the prick Leo Beebe with his supernatural talent to kiss the boss' ass. This pencil pusher is interested in nothing he's seeing in the era he's seeing it in and all he thinks is how he's going to climb the corporate ladder by having his tongue so far up Henry's rectum he could draw his lower intestine from memory.
It's been said before, but it bears repeating this scene makes all of the acting he put in to playing Ford sensational. To be a man riding on the arrogance his family name grants him to be both torn down from on high and lifted beyond hights he even knew existed at the same time, and to take an audience believeably on that roller coaster. Also, real or not the all or nothing bet Shelby lays on the table in this scene is the most subtle best friend energy ever. You don't bet your lifes work on "if." Shelby knows it, and Ford knew it too.
“The name on the center of the wheel should tell you I was born ready, Shelby. Hit it.” “Attaboy.” Even when other details of the film get murky , I always remember this scene.
“I wish my daddy were alive to see this… to feel this.”
What an incredible line.
That line hit everyone like Ford GT
Family.

Nope, still funny.

Period. Full Stop.

It's like watching the olympics, you have zero clue how fast they are until you have a good comparison against a normal person.
I was thinking the same thing bro.
250 lbs. But who cares😂😂😂😂
That deal Shelby made with Mr. Ford was a win/win for him. That’s an offer that can’t be turned down
A lot of people think when he says he wishes his father could see this he means Henry ford, Edsel Ford (Henry’s son) was his father and the reason we had stylish fords in the 30s and 40s bc he was very interested in what a car was capable of and how good they can look so yes edsel would absolutely love the gt40
If you think it was Henry ford you’re stupid and didn’t watch the movie lol
Edsel gave us the absolutely beautiful Lincoln Continental. The first generation is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
Yes. Edsel was a closet hot rodder. Henry was the grandfather who said engines don't need more cylinders than a cow has teats.
I'm sure if Edsel would have seen GT40, would been all joy.
Edsel would've been elated. Along with his son, he'd be crying and laughing too, probably telling Shelby "I've been dreaming of this car for my whole life."

If only he said " you want to drive it back? Just go slow the boss would get upset if you wrecked it."

I joke with myself, asking how many pills did Shelby have to take in order to do this short bit of driving. Haha
no one wants to let their parents down 😢 🎉 😮

“Just see what 9 million dollars feel like.” 😂 lol money well invested that’s for sure
1:35 I can hear this unlimited times 😌😌
Can anyone verify if Shelby actually put his entire company on the line over one race?? I feel like this was invented for the film.
I think it was said during an interview as kind of a throwaway comment but I don't think it was this serious
Pulling some G's there!!!
Handshake deal no lawyers involved guarantee
That awkward break up moment
1:35 this shot is cool 😎 🏎
I guess Jason Bourne got a drivers license.

I think Mr ford regrets asking Mr shelby to erm hit it. Clean up in seat two. .
Nope. That's not what happened here.

Lol, no. You obviously know nothing about Shelby or Ford.
2:35 after watching a recent history series on Henry ford this hits alot different
The ford in this movie is Henry ford II, whose father was Edsel Ford. His grandfather was Henry Ford
@odysseus1660 I'm fully aware hence why edsel not being able to see it hit diffrent.
Man I wish I could take a ride in that car....
When you see a man cry for entirely non-selfish reasons, now thats when you know he's open as a book and all thats left is truth.
I like how you hear the sound of a transmission shifting but you never see Matt Damon's left hand (the one he would shift with) come off the steering wheel, lolol
GT40s have the shifter mounted down to the driver's right, between the seat and the door :)
He was sitting on something else at the end
How a CEO job work.

Although it's a Right-Hand Drive car, the shift lever is on the right side of the driver.

Is the gear shift on the driver door side in the GT40??!!!
Yes. The GT40 was right hand drive and the shifter was to the driver's right between the seat and door.
One flat tire at Daytona and Shelby would have lost everything.

Now this is real friendship Shelby putting his whole company on the line because he believes this much in his friend. Wow
So, did this ride really happen, or is it typical Hollywood made up crap? My guess is it never happened.

He made Ford an offer he couldn't refuse.
Someone once told me you only remember your first, your last and your best. Somtething tells me that was all 3
This is the best scene ever I always love the part when he cried into Joy
One of the best movies scenes!
He was so confident that he said he will give him Shelby American lock, stock, and brand…
He had no doubt at all

Lol, no. Lee Iacocca is the father of the Mustang.
