La Ford Vedette de mon père
Although the Ford Vedette was produced in France, its original concept came from the United States. In 1944, the Ford Motor Company began developing an economical vehicle. The project faced numerous issues and was abandoned in 1946.
Maurice Dollfus, Ford's representative in France, convinced Henry Ford II to hand over the plans for this "little Ford" to be produced in his Poissy plant. This marked the start of the F 492 E program, better known as the Vedette.
Richly illustrated, this book details the history and evolution of the Ford Vedette from 1948 onwards. This volume of the "La voiture de mon père" collection is both a comprehensive source of information for owners and a concise guide to the model's originality.
The book covers the technical aspects, variants, modifications, and special versions in depth. It contains 230 period photos, many of which are unpublished.
