My is TULIP.  I am THEEEE prototype that Shelby built for Ford. John Coletti and Carroll Shelby were the driving force behind this GT prototype. Tulip is my code name. 

I got this info while taking pictures of it. The tour guide came up to me and asked me "Do you know what you are looking at"?

Mike, FYI..Long before there was any prototype, and we were developing this car in clay at Ford, it's code name was "Daisy"!

This guy had some input into the GT program,  Who is he?

That would be Camillo Pardo. The main exterior designer of the GT.

Pardo did some really nice work while he was at Ford. Does anyone know the reason he left (or was asked to leave) ?

Yes, Camilo is a very talented person as are many of the individuals I have and currently work with. I personally would rather not comment on anything in regards to his leaving Ford Motor.
