Ford Mustang & Fords of the Fifties Book Bundle

This Ford automotive history book bundle pairs two beautifully illustrated references covering two of Ford Motor Company’s most important eras: the stylish postwar comeback years of the 1950s and the 60-plus-year legacy of America’s most iconic pony car, the Ford Mustang.

Ideal for Ford enthusiasts, Mustang fans, classic car collectors, automotive historians, and anyone who enjoys detailed, photo-rich books about American automotive history, this bundle offers both broad Ford heritage and focused Mustang coverage in one collectible set.

The Complete Book of Ford Mustang, Fifth Edition

The Complete Book of Ford Mustang, Fifth Edition is an officially licensed, lavishly illustrated reference covering more than 60 years of Ford Mustang history. Updated through the 2026 model year, this book follows the Mustang model by model, from the original 1964-1/2 six-cylinder cars to modern performance machines like the Dark Horse and race-ready GTD.

Inside, readers will find in-depth commentary, stunning photography, detailed specifications, and coverage of Boss and Shelby models, prototypes, experimental one-offs, anniversary editions, pace cars, and specialty packages for street and competition driving.

Created in cooperation with Ford, this volume is an essential resource for muscle car enthusiasts, motorsports fans, Mustang collectors, and anyone interested in the evolution of America’s best-known pony car.

Fords of the Fifties

Fords of the Fifties explores Ford Motor Company and its cars during the 1950s, a decade remembered for chrome, fins, dual exhausts, dream cars, and postwar optimism. Featuring color photography by noted automotive photographer Mike Parris, along with original photography and material from Ford Motor Company, the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and the Detroit Library’s National Automotive Collection, this book captures one of Ford’s most exciting periods.

The book blends beautiful photography with the behind-the-scenes story of Ford Motor Company’s survival and comeback from 1949 to 1959. After struggling financially in the mid-1940s, Ford rebounded under Henry Ford II and went on to produce memorable cars, strong profits, and designs that helped define postwar America.

This book is a strong addition for classic car enthusiasts, Ford collectors, automotive history readers, and anyone interested in the styling, business turnaround, and cultural impact of Ford during the 1950s.

Why These Books Work Well Together

Together, these two books create a well-rounded look at Ford’s legacy, connecting the company’s 1950s comeback and styling boom with the later rise and continued evolution of the Ford Mustang. Fords of the Fifties gives readers the background of Ford’s postwar strength, while The Complete Book of Ford Mustang, Fifth Edition follows one of the most important products that helped carry Ford performance and image forward for generations.

For collectors, restorers, and Ford fans, this bundle offers a mix of corporate history, model-by-model detail, performance heritage, and high-quality photography, making it a valuable addition to any automotive book collection.
