Every page of Ford information has been scanned in high-resolution and appears in “e-book” format – software by Flip Books that turns these items into a digital album. You simply flip the pages just as you would a “hard copy”. Insert book marks to find your place. Flip back and forth to compare pages. Print the whole book , just certain pages, or just the images alone. It works intuitively and just like a real book, complete with sound (if you so desire).

There are nine books on the digital “shelf”.  Choose one, peruse it, then close it out and select another. Keep in mind this is not merely a PowerPoint presentation or a collection of pictures in a slide show – however you can set the pages in slide show format if you choose.. This is a digital book that looks and acts just like a regular book, only it can’t be ripped, have the staples fall out, and the binding will always stay in place.

No software is needed, just insert the CD in your Windows 98-or-newer PC and it opens. “Pop and Play”: it’s easy, and you can enjoy these wonderful Ford items over and over again without fear of them becoming brittle, unbound, ripped, or soiled. The pages are all scanned at 400 dpi resolution and the videos are high-quality mpg files. Inside there are thumbnail shots of every page, a table of contents that is linked to each page, as well as a linked alphabetical index at the back.

You see every page exactly as it was meant to be seen, nothing has been omitted or added. Zoom in for close-ups! If you could find all 8 pieces of literature their condition would likely make reading them a challenge. Saved on CD, they are yours to enjoy easily, often, and at a fraction of the price of paper copies. Take it on the road with you for those times when you need a “Ford fix”. There are no typical dealer brochures or folders here, no magazine ads – this CD is for the connoisseur of the hobby – regardless of what year Ford, Edsel, Mercury, or Lincoln is parked in the garage.

The 3-minute Wonderful World of 1960 commercial is stunning, absolutely breath-taking in its scope and presentation. The slow sweep down every inch of the Galaxie will leave you spellbound. The Thunderbird will make you sigh with “if only…” and the Falcon introduction will delight you. It’s a sure bet that you will play it over and over again with the volume cranked all the way up! It ranks as one of the all-time best Ford commercials ever. In another, you will see the Starliner and Sunliner race along an airport runway. It will make you want to rush right down to your Ford dealer’s and buy one…or two! Maybe you prefer an economy model like the Falcon or Fairlane – you have 3 color commercials to convince you. Or if it’s Thunderbird that makes you sit up and take notice, they are here too, complete with convertible top in action and close-ups of a “SelectAire-ed” Sun Roof!

Listen to “Tennessee” Ernie sing the praises of the new Ford Falcon Wagons, then play it again and sing along. There is a rousing, spirited selection of three radio commercials touting the station wagon lines.
