Ford GT no. 48 was sold Saturday at Mecum’s Indianapolis sale for an incredible $1.65 million after a frenzied bidding war that progressed quite rapidly.

Whether you like it or not, the Royal Wedding has been pretty much inescapable on every form of media—social or otherwise. We’re not going to talk about princes and princesses and fancy castles, though. We need to talk about their reception car.

War had a habit of making women into racers. With the men occupied on the battlefield, someone had to maneuver ambulances through shell-cratered roads at high speed, rushing to and from emergencies. Some women became absolutely infatuated with the challenge and the adrenaline and looked to find ways to get that same…

Every so often, there’s a car so wild and such a hilarious failure that history tries to dance around it. The records of these automotive mishaps are skimmed over with little more than an awkward, “yeah, um, also we kinda messed up—but look at the good things instead!”
