'Dad's' and 'Cortina': two words that go together like 'gammon' and 'pineapple', `Raquel' and Welch', 'Dunn' and 'Co', 'Kevin' and 'Keegan'. This book celebrates the special bond between your Old Man and the legendarily dependable car he drove. It's My Dad's Cortina by Giles Chapman.
The Ford Cortina first delivered driving freedom to eager fathers in 1962 — a cheap, spacious, sleek and gutsy motor for unlocking Britain via those new-fangled motorways. It was a no-nonsense job under the bonnet, too.
There had never been a car quite like it. Soon it was winning rallies and races and selling by the million. Successive Cortinas offered even more of the good stuff, wrapped up in cars bringing sparkle to any driveway. When the last Cortina was made in 1982, British motoring would never be the same again. This entertaining book recounts the whole Cortina story as your Dad experienced it. Covering the Mk I, II, Ill, IV and Cortina 80, My Dad's Cortina is packed with nostalgic pictures of the cars that never let the opposition overtake. Your Dad'll love it all over again. So will you.
