GT42
    Created targeting the guidelines of MotorTrend's 2001 Design Contest, the GT42 was my entry in accordance with the contest's challenge: "Participants will be asked to 'turn the cars of the past into the cars of today' by selecting their favorite defunct model or nameplate and redesigning it for the model-year 2002." It won a semi-finalist position in the "Amateur, 18-25 year old" category, and was displayed at an exhibit during the 2001 California International Auto Show.
    I was very upset at the judge's decision to not include my GT42 among the finalists, as I thought the GT42 was a rock-solid design that was avante-guard, producible and filled a much-needed market niche for Ford. Much to my surprise, weeks after the contest was judged, Ford unveiled its plan to build its own "new GT40", which had been secretly under development for over a year before I started my project. Ironically, it turned out to be extraordinarily similar to my design in style, structure and market placement. I find it amusing that my GT42 design, which the MotorTrend judges so underestimated, was the only design concept from the 2001 contest (which included several hundred entries) to actually be produced by a global manufacturer!
