About this title

Synopsis

This is the definitive history of the Ford Model Y of 1932 to 1937 and all of its worldwide variants. Referred to as the first "world car," the Y is the car that made Ford a truly international company. Most of the great names of the Ford Motor Company were involved with this first streamlined, mass-produced car, including Edsel Ford.
