Synopsis
Fords of the Fifties is a book about Ford Motor Company and its cars during the 1950s -- the romantic decade of chrome, fins, and dual exhausts., Fords of the Fifties is a book about Ford Motor Company and its cars during the 1950s -- the romantic decade of chrome, fins, and dual exhausts. Much of the color photography is by author Mike Parris, one of the country's foremost automotive photographers. Original photography and information from the archives of Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and the Detroit Library's National Automotive Collection are also featured. This is a must have for any classic car enthusiast. Parris blends a behind-the-scenes story of Ford Motor Company's survival and comeback from 1949 to 1959 with these beautiful images and details of classic Fords. The company was losing $10 million per month during the mid-1940's when 27-year-old Henry Ford II came back from the Navy to take charge and lead the company to one of the most successful decades in its history. After nearing the brink of bankruptcy, Ford Motor Company came bounding back with record profits, memorable products and dream cars that captured the minds of post-war America. This book will become your best source of information for this great period in Ford automotive history to large automotive businesses., Bolstered by a postwar economic boom, the American auto industry in the 1950s parlayed robust sales into groundbreaking designs and technologies. This exciting new photohistory examines Dearborn's contribution to American automotive innovation during that heady period. From the Forty-Niner in which Ford rode into the decade through cars like the Club Coupe, Sunline, and Galaxie, this year-by-year history prefaces each chapter with a brief overview and timeline, followed by look at each model in the company's new product line, examinations of engineering changes and breakthroughs, and explanations of the year's sales and marketing efforts. Illustrated throughout with photographs from the Ford archives, this book is sure to appeal to Ford fans and general automotive enthusiasts, alike. Final chapters cover Ford concept cars of the 1950s, the company's international markets of the period, and a look ahead to the 1960s.
