DESCRIPTION:
"The title of this book is somewhat misleading in that it's much more than a recounting of the design, building and marketing of the 1940 Ford. Beyond that, it looks at the competitive factors of the day, a period in which General Motors totally dominated the domestic market and Ford was losing ground in the sales race." - Auto Restorer. It puts the vehicles into context of the times, taking into account the operating structure of Ford Motor Co., as well as the personalities and input of automotive legends

Staples Most coffee table books are long on pretty pictures and kind of lacking on readable verbiage. In '40 Ford, Joseph Cabadas has written a book to match the car. It's beautiful, powerful, and streamlined. The book is a history of the Ford Motor Company in pictures and text as much as a description of the cars and the V8 engine. Rather than boring the heck out of non-gearheads with compression ratios and R.P.M.s (though they are in there), Mr. Cabadas has concentrated on the people who designed and built the car and the people who bought and drove it.

Two hundred rare photographs and illustrations from the collections of The Henry Ford and from photographers around the country marvelously illustrate the iconic automobile.. In this illustrated history of the ’40 Ford, auto historian Joe Cabadas delves into the archive of The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, to offer a complete history of the 1940 Ford: the design and production process that led to the car; the various body styles; motorsports (both circle-track and drag racing); and hot rodding. Notable for its streamlined style and deco details, the ’40 Ford has gained in popularity among today’s classic car nostalgists and hot rodders who remember the models as monsters of the drag strip and as affordable first cars or hot rod platforms of their youth.
