Morgan’s & Phillip’s Speed Apparel™ a licensee of Gulf Oil in the USA has released a rendering of their next SEMA show project car. A 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 inspired by the famous Gulf Racing GT40’s of the ’60s. “It’s really our interpretation of what the car might look like had a team of NASCAR guys decided to go road racing in Europe in the 1960s,” said Michael Satterfield the creative director of M&P™.

The car is an all-original (and factory powder blue) 1967 Ford Fairlane 500, equipped from the factory with a manual transmission. The car will feature a number of period-correct modifications and of course a number of styling cues from the GT40’s that raced at Le Mans in the 1960s.

Details on the sponsors of the project will be released shortly by M&P™, but a number of companies have already committed to the build. M&P™ in conjunction with TheGentlemanRacer.com™ will be doing video series documenting the build.

At first glance, Kate Cook’s artwork might seem like a paradox—a seamless blend of classic oil painting techniques with the high-octane world of automotive enamels. Her signature approach, which she calls "Artemotiv," merges the meticulous craftsmanship of fine art with the raw energy of hot rods and muscle cars. But spend a few minutes with Cook, and the paradox resolves itself into something more profound: an artist who has not only found her lane but paved it herself.
