<https://community.hagerty.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/865> mentioned
that the original Ford GT40 used the four round tail lights of the
Chevrolet Corvair, and he’s not the only one

who
spotted them. These lights were lightweight, easy to procure, and small
enough to fit on a race car. Perhaps hyperv6 is right when he suggested
that the GT40’s legacy was less like *Ford vs. Ferrari*

and more like Ford and Chevy vs. Ferrari?
