Full-size Fords 1965-1970
Anotace
1955-1970 is
a fascinating retrospective of the
cars – the design process, manufacturing, equipment packages,
and a thorough listing of options, interior patterns, and paint codes.
All models from 1955 to 1970 that brought Ford to dominance in
the full-size category are revealed in compelling detail. The
introduction of the Galaxie, the development of the Skyliner
retractable roof car, the radical redesign of the 1960 models to
counter Chevy's new sedan, and much more is covered. Period
magazine reviews provide insight and perspective on the driving
experience and performance of various full-size models. An
exciting look back on Ford Y-Block engines, Ford FE engine
family, and the new-for-1970 Lima series engine is also provided.
In addition, author David Temple examines Ford's racing exploits,
featuring the dual-quad 427 Cammer engine, the Galaxie Grand
National race car, and factory and lightweight drag cars.
