This book has to be one of the best titles in the Crestline series! Endless pictures and information make this book hard to put down.You cannot look thru this book without learning something you did not know about Ford. I am not sure but it seems as though there is a picture of almost every Ford ever made.You will not be disappointed with this title.

This is a gem of a book.Its huge and offers so much more covering Ford from 1896 right through to 1993.

Its a great reference book if you can find a copy.

Yes, this book is packed full of facts and photos that will delight any Ford enthusiast and it will provide hours of interesting reading.

Having said that, it is also the most poorly edited book I have ever read. Seemingly every page has numerous errors of every type. Not just simple typo's. Many pages include photos of vehicles that are mis-named or from a model year covered in another chapter (a 1974 LTD being marked as a 1973 for example). The author's spelling, grammar and syntax is poor (note to George Dammann, when making a comparison of two things, use "more" and "less", not "most" and "least").

In the beginning of at least one chapter, the opening text columns are in the wrong order, making the reader sift through everything to read properly.

If you can overlook all of this, the book is enjoyable. But you may end up wondering what other errors are contained in the book, besides the ones that jump out.

This is a book sure to delight any Ford lover and especially anyone who loves classic Fords. The photographs are a major bonus. Readers get treated to some really cool pictures of some really serious cars, e.g. Ford Falcons and soaring Thunderbirds.

I like the way the equipment and number of automobiles manufactured is included. I also really liked some of the classic photographs, such as a beautiful 1961 Ford Falcon in a showroom and sale pictures as well. This is a comprehensive, well researched book that certainly lives up to the classic Ford slogan, "Drive a Ford! It's a Better Idea!"

The book looked like a new one, was packed securely and was received promptly.
Excellent experience and would highly recommend.
