Author Description

For 28 years Ford fanatics have gathered at Knott's Berry Farm to celebrate the cars, trucks, and history of the Ford Motor Company. This year, through the efforts of the Ford Car Club Council, more than 2,100 Fords, Lincolns, and Mercurys were on display, from the Model T to the latest Mustang. This book, the second in a series of four volumes, covers full-sized Fords from 1949 to 1972. After World War Two it took Ford four years for the company to introduce its all-new first postwar models but they were worth the wait, full of innovation from bumper to bumper.
