Back of Cards

From the back of the 2008 card Ford's Gangster Grin™ was designed by Steve Gilmore. After college, Gilmore drove cross-country from Ohio to California for an internship at Mattel, which helped prepare him for his career in car design. In designing the Gangster Grin™, Gilmore wanted to use some of the best designs from Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury to create a car befitting a "mob boss". Polished trim outlining the body, a '49 Ford-inspired grille, and "ghost flames" make this Designer's Challenge™ winner look menacing yet elegant.
