This program was Roger's...
We did collaborate on a few details. The Cobra was around the same time so we tried the aluminum on both.
I recall the photoshoot in Devon, PA. Cordie Wetherill of the dealership offered to takes us for rides.... Rog, wanted to decline, but I insisted he go first. The grin on his face was priceless! Roger was and still is a big BMW fan.
We had quite a few big hit programs, but this was right before they squeezed us. I know they wanted to delete some Cobra details, so I hid them in paint! If you do look closely, FORD is missing from the model, esp. the decals.
The shame of the Z8 was, even though it was a hit, nothing further transpired program wise. Very sad, as marketing had no forward thinking.
