“The Early Ford V8 as Henry Built it” By Edward P Francis and George DeAngelis was printed in 1982 on the 50th Anniversary of the introduction of the first Ford V8, this Hard Cover book measures 9” x 11” and contains 226 pages, but only covers the 1932 through 1938 models.
For owners of 1939 and later Ford V8’s, unfortunately, your models are not covered in this book.
This book is well illustrated with all of the photos being taken when these vehicles were new and are all in Black and White.
There are many detailed photos of the interiors as well as overall shots, all of which add to the quality of this book.
Authors Francis and DeAngelis spent 8 years of Research studying such materials as original specification, engineering drawings and historical records.
