The Ford Century : Ford Motor Company and the Innovations that Shaped the World
This centennial book is a captivating visual history of the man and the machine that shaped the world in which we live. The compelling story of the Ford Motor Company in each era--from the turn of the nineteenth century on into the twenty-first--is one of vision, inventions, personalities, legendary vehicles, setbacks, and successes.
The book is like a candy store--jam-packed with goodies for almost any palate. More than five hundred images from private collections and the Ford Archives (many never seen before), along with scores of info boxes, sidebars, captions, and timelines, make this eminently engaging book impossible to put down, and easy to pick up over and over again.
From the invention of the assembly line to the V-8 engine, from the affordable everyman's car to the creation of a network of national highways, from the labor wars through the two world wars and into the global economy--it's all here in the most compelling book ever compiled on Henry Ford and the Ford legacy.
