August 18, 201213 yr http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/pebble-beach-faux-pas/53459/page1/ I guess I need to write a column on this stuff for our sister magazine, Classic Motorsports, but I will share this with you guys first. I am always nervous out here representing at Monterey and Pebble Beach. Those of you who know me, know I am much more comfortable in a junk yard, than at the Rolex dinner. So last night, I am talking to long time friend and GRM supporter, and west coast Ford P.R. guy, John Clinard. He is standing and talking to another guy as well and I nonchalantly ask this guy, if he too is a Ford Guy. He quickly retorts, “no, I am a Chevy guy... what do you think!?“ John Clinard looks over at me and says, “Tim, I would like you to meet Edsel Ford" After much embarrassment, I end up talking to Edsel and his son, Henry Ford III for half an hour. Hard to believe these guys can be so down to earth.
