Summary

For a quarter of a century, David L. Lewis' "Ford Country" column has been an eagerly anticipated feature in each issue of Cars & Parts magazine. With art authoritative yet breezy style, he has established himself as an expert on all things Ford -- the family, the company, and the automobiles. This second hardbound volume presents even more of "Ford Country" as it has appeared through the years, along with accompanying photographs and captions.
