Description: |
The 1950s were, perhaps, the greatest period in automotive history, with Ford Motors creating the cars that defined the decade. Fabulous Fords of the Fifties brings this message home in this hour-long video that showcases 10 years in the life of the company that brought us such classic vehicles as the Mercury, the Thunderbird, and, yes, the Edsel. Interspersing modern footage from collectors' shows with original promotional films, the tape transports us back to a time when cars had style as well as substance, when car owners could marvel at such modern wonders as the Hideaway Hard Top and the Seat-o-matic. Year-by-year details of the motor company and its car models are entertaining as well as educational, and we learn about the automobile industry while adoring these V8 visions in chrome. Full of interesting trivia (the Edsel was available in 90 different color combinations) and fascinating visions of yesteryear's dream cars, Fabulous Fords of the Fifties gives viewers a glimpse from the driver's seat and lets them, as the song says, "get the feel of the wheel of a Ford." --Zachary Lively |
