Synopsis

Henry Ford founded his manufacturing company in America in 1903, and in 2003 the Ford Motor Company will celebrate its 100th anniversary. This wonderful book reveals Ford’s full history, from the days of Henry Ford, to its development into the massive corporation we know today. All the landmark Ford models including the Model T, the Mustang, and the Thunderbird, are featured in stunning pictures and detailed historical specifications. In addition to specially-commissioned color photographs, the illustrations also include hundreds of archive pictures, advertisements, and line drawings.

As well as telling the story of Ford itself, the book also reviews some of the famous automobile designers and stylists associated with the company, including Edsel Ford, Henry’s son. This work of nostalgia is perfect for those interested in the development of car design throughout the last century and is an essential reference work for all automobile enthusiasts.

In addition to the American side of the story, the text also covers the history of the company abroad, including a look into Ford factories in the United Kingdom.
