Does anyone know the reason as to why Mr. Sorensen stopped the production of his great series of Ford Life magazine with the Vol. 4, Number 3, May-June 1974 issue?

OR were there more than that and if so, just how long did the publication continue?

Thanks.

I worked for Lorin for a very short time (and believe me, he was not easy to work for), and putting out that magazine was extremely demanding. He also had a limited amount of original source material, mostly from the Long Beach plant; and publishing can be a very expensive and not always profitable venture. I don't know for certain, but I would suspect that those factors contributed. I think he found more financial success in books.
