It's a must-have book for any fan of classic American performance cars!. Featuring unpublished period photographs, plus photos and artwork from Ford designers, Ford Total Performance covers all of Ford's classic race and street cars, including Cobras and Shelby Mustangs. Follow Ford's leap into the 1960s and the performance era--on the streets and on the track!In the early 1960s, Ford Motor Company underwent a dramatic change in corporate philosophy. Previously, under Ford's young chairman, Henry Ford II ("the Deuce") safety, not performance, was the goal.But by 1962, even the chairman realized his philosophy needed to change.
