Fords of the Fifties is a work of art and information about Ford cars during this romantic decade of chrome, fins and dual exhausts. Much of the 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 book 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-1940s 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.

In this story of success and fabulous cars Parris captures the essence of the company during the 1950s through research at the Ford Motor Company archives, and in interviews with executives from the period. Fords of the Fifties will become your best source of information for this great period in Ford automotive history.

This programme follows one of Ford's greatest success stories, the Cortina. Over 4 million were sold between 1962-1982, making it the most popular British car of the 1960s and 1970s. Using previously unseen archive footage, alongside interviews and original advertising, we discover how it has retained the public's affection for over forty years!

When it was launched in 1962, the Cortina took the world by surprise. Ford had created something totally new and original, skilfully combining driveability, good handling and great value. Using original footage from the early stages of building and testing the Mk 1, we go back to the drawing board to find out how the Cortina went from a concept to the unique driving creation we know and love. Today, there are still many proud owners using their Mk 1s as everyday transport - we meet members of Cortina owners' clubs and enthusiasts to find out why they're still such a big hit!

The Cortina's success was not confined to the roads - the 1.5GT twin-cam engine types showed real potential in rally and track stages. Lotus saw this promise, and alongside Ford, went on to develop what is now recognised as a true icon in the history of motor racing! This fascinating programme features archive footage of the Lotus Cortinas in action at the British Saloon Car Championship at Snetterton, Brands Hatch and in Hungary.

Featuring a wide range of models, including the Mks 1-5, convertibles, and the Safari Rally Lotus Cortinas, this programme delivers a definitive history of a best-selling British creation. We also take a look at some unorthodox specimens with chopped off roofs, crazy sound systems and the obligatory furry dice hanging from the rear view mirror!

If you love Cortinas, you will love this programme!

Since the 1960s, the Ford Mustang has been turning heads with its powerful looks and performance to match. The car holds cult status in the eyes of thousands, and has ensured Ford's continuing investment into the 21st century.

Capturing every Mustang model, from the 1962 prototype right through to the latest GT model, this program relives the car's many racing successes, and provides a fantastic overview of this illustrious automobile. Its history, combined with its modern prestige has lead to a huge following, shown at the 40th anniversary celebrations in Nashville. With over 3000 cars on show, not to mention the thousands driven down by enthusiasts, every model and design imaginable is on display.

The Nashville Speedway plays host to many finely tuned, lovingly restored Mustangs in a display of sleek design and awesome power. Watching these cars, it is no wonder that the Mustang has enjoyed so many racing successes and remains a hugely popular model on the Ford production line. It wouldn't be a true celebration without original footage, and with 40-years of action to choose from, we've got plenty.

To top it all we feature interviews with Ford's Vice-President Stephen Lyons, Mustang Chief Engineer Hau Tai-Tang, and Carroll Shelby.

DVD extras include Flat out Ford, the 1965 race season and 1966 Ford line up.
