All of Ford's American brands are here, including Lincoln, Mercury, and Edsel, plus, of course, the full story of the Mustang and Thunderbird. Told in a lively picture-caption format, this large-format book traces the story from Henry Ford's earliest hand-built horseless carriages, through his revolutionary assembly line and the Model T it churned out, to the two-tone wonders and muscle machines of the glamourous 1950s and '60s, right up to today's high-tech creations from Dearborn. Noted automotive historian David L. Lewis profiles famous Ford personalities, from the heroic to the notorious. More than 4,000 photos, most in full color, some never before published.
