AFAIK there is only 1 car that looks like this, and it is usually in the Ford Museum. Anyone else know more about it? Is this a fake?

Spotted on the Microsoft campus.

usually the three spokes (whatever they are) coming out of the center of the rim are red. But other than that, it looks very legit.

Edit: I think it's a fake - only one is owned in California and it's owned by Tom Malloy

Tom Malloy owns the red #4 car (according to my quick google). I am pretty sure the museum owns the red #1. There are only 6 of them. This would mean it's either "borrowed" (they do take it on tour) or a replica. Considering some of the richest people on the planet are MS people, either one seems possible.

The car belongs to the Microsoft parking instructor.

Even if it is a replica, still a beautiful car. Nice spot
