A beautiful and entertaining book, 8 May 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ford Century (Hardcover)
This book is fascinating, even for people like me who aren't especially interested in cars. I picked it up at my grandpa's house and couldn't put it down. More than a "car book," Ford Century brings in a lot of the history that Ford grew up in - from hula hoops to hot rods - and reminds its readers how Ford was there for it all. This is a beautiful book, as well, with great images and nostalgiac pictures. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
outstanding collection of products, 8 Feb 2008
By Luis A. De Torre "Luis de la Torre" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Ford Century (Hardcover)
I bought this book as part of the materials of a history of innovation course, and it resulted a valuable piece. The history of Ford is well known in general terms but not in the details and the way their engineers broke thoundsands of paradigms and how they adapted to the market needs. The book of evidence of this effort. There is a nice introduction by Paul Newman. I recommend it for all lovers of engineering or product development.
