Customer Reviews

This high-quality coffee table book has not just great pics but contains a real slice of Americana

With over 500 photos, Author Russ Banham and foreward(er) [the late Hungarian-American Actor] Pual Newman, take the reader into four different sections about the life of an American inventor-genius. They don't go into Ford's somewhat kooky views (was he a Mason or just into the Occult?!, but stick strictly to his wanting to make a car for the American family and our love affair with it! Why, oh why can't we have Corporations like this today?
