Ed used them on his GT500 while he used the 1A 4101 "d" plate set on the MKI GT40 road car which he was charged with driving from dealership to dealership on the East Coast for a year doing promotional work. It was a tough cross to bare for Ed to have to have that ole beater taking up a garage spot Kind regards,Vern

Here's a photos of the GT40 demonstrator with the '1A DLR 4101' license plate.I'm not certain, but I believe this should be Al Grillo Ford (it's definitely not Tasca Ford).Updated list in first post.
That photo was not taken at Al Grillo Ford...I live about 5 miles from the original location which was on S. Common St. in Lynn, Mass.
^^^ Wow, Rich. Most excellent research and presentation!
So when CSX 3178, Shelby's personal 427 Cobra, was sold at Mecum in Jan 2021 with 1A MFG 013 as shown in the2021 SAAC annual, was CSX 3178 "born" with that plate, or was a replica plate added during restoration for "period effect"?CheersGreg
