Car articles about Ford (US) Shelby GT 500 by year
The Ford GT 40 is rightly regarded as one of the most successful sports cars of all time and, as the drivers of the time assure us, also one of the most comfortable for covering long distances. It was therefore only natural to derive road vehicles from the racing car. But here success fell by the wayside, only a few were built, most of which were eventually converted into racing cars anyway. This report tells the story of the Ford GT 40 and the two road-going versions and looks at a one-off that should have definitively positioned the GT 40 as a luxury sports car. The report is illustrated with over 120 photos, some of which have never been seen before.
From 1964 to 1967, Ford built the Galaxie 500 with stacked twin headlights and a no-frills design, which was intended to be as quiet as a Rolls-Royce, but was of course much cheaper and a typical American full-size passenger car. This vehicle report shows a Ford Galaxie 500 and its predecessors in many pictures and describes the different models and their characteristics.
Two Ford Mustangs have achieved special film honors and become legendary. Eleanor and "Bullitt", the car driven by Frank Bullitt in the movie of the same name. It's no wonder that these cars are reproduced time and again. But the Ford Mustang Fastback with a 6.4-liter engine was a very interesting car even without this legendary status. This vehicle report looks back at the history of the powerful Mustang from the 1967 and 1968 model years and shows the original film car from "Bullitt" and a clone in detail.
In the late sixties, Alejandro De Tomaso joined the tuners and took on the Ford Cortina. The Italian-optimized Englishman waited unsuccessfully for the great mass rush and ultimately remained a rarity. This article shows pictures of the Mk1 and Mk2 versions and summarizes the differences to the standard GT, as well as driving impressions from the trade press. A real treat!
For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
