Various – 121 Years of The Ford Car

"Ford cars were an affordable drive, and from the late 1940s onwards youths customised them into hot rods with twin pipes and a Columbia butt. For you folks who don't dig the jive, that's two carburettors and an overdrive.The thirty song album 121 Years Of The Ford Car is a rockin' tribute in music to Henry Ford's designs." The Atomicat Records Anniversary series shines its headlights onto Henry Ford's company and celebrates 121 Years Of The Ford Car (ACCD147). "Well gather around friends while I tell you a story about a Model-A Ford." In words and music, we explore Ford cars' influence and appearance in music. This album is dedicated to Henry Ford's dream and the brand which became synonymous with the "Fabulous Fifties." The Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford on the 16th of June 1903, and in that year the company produced the first Model-A car. Atomicat Records celebrates 121 years of the Ford car with thirty songs, one of which is from 1948, and the remainder are sourced from the years 1952 through to 1962. The featured songs were inspired by the automobile whether in title, verse, or simply the artists took the group name from a Ford model.
