Ford Opens its Archives with New Website Full of Treasures
Photo: Ford Ad for the 1966 Ford Thunderbird Most of the world’s major auto manufacturers have long and rich histories. General Motors, Ford, Porsche, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota, just to name those, have been in business for decades. In the case of American car companies, we’re talking about histories that stretch back more than a century.
Those histories are too often neglected, however; access to period documentation is not always easy. For car fans in search of information, or even automotive journalists wanting to obtain archival documents to better flesh out articles, finding them can be a time-consuming, sometimes fruitless experience.Congrats to Ford, then, for creating a website delivering easy access to documentation related to it. At www.fordheritagevault.
As an exercise, we visited the site to do some research with the keywords "Falcon Ranchero", "Phaeton" and "Thunderbird Turbo". For a car fan, the pull and attraction of digging through such a treasure trove of documentation makes it harder to leave the site than Tik Tok when watching cat videos! In short, hours of fun for fans and professionals. We leave you with some of the images we came across.
