EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the Ford Popular saloon, a groundbreaking automobile in British motoring history. Introduced in 1936, the Ford Popular was the first car sold in the United Kingdom for less than £100, making it an affordable option for the average consumer. With a maximum speed of over 60 miles per hour, the Ford Popular offered a new level of mobility and freedom to its owners. The Ford Popular was a significant departure from the expensive and luxurious cars that dominated the market at the time. Its simple yet practical design, combined with its affordability, made it an instant hit with the British public. The car's popularity helped to democratize car ownership in the country, paving the way for a new era of personal transportation. The Ford Popular saloon was a 4-door sedan with a 750cc side-valve engine and a top speed of 62 mph. It featured a synchromesh gearbox, independent front suspension, and a live rear axle. The car's body was made of pressed steel, and it came with a number of optional extras, including a heater, a windscreen washer, and a radio. This photograph shows a Ford Popular saloon parked on a quiet street, its sleek lines and elegant design standing out against the backdrop of the British countryside. The car's classic shape and timeless appeal continue to captivate car enthusiasts and historians alike, making it a cherished symbol of British motoring history.
