Retired Microsoft Executive Jon Shirley, of Medina, drives off as he took delivery of the World's First FORD GT SUPERCAR at Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent, WA on August 4, 2004. Jon Shirley won the right to the very first Ford GT by outbidding other suitors, his winning bid at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance auction last August. The 2005 Ford GT is a modern interpretation of the Ford GT 40, which raced in the 1960's.
