Video Description
It would start with one man’s vision. The dream of a car that could win races. That would sell over 4.3M cars over 20 years. That would change with fashions and become a thing of legend. That could help a rep make his sale by taking the company’s latest teasmade from Slough to Swindon on a tricky Tuesday in the rain. That could take the kids and their luggage on a week’s holiday to Clacton while using slightly less fuel and with slightly more luggage space. That car would be the Ford Cortina and this is its story! And yes, I can't say "Ford Anglia" in this video. You only find these things out when you hear yourself back! Intro music: "Bus Da Blockbuster" from the YouTube Audio Library. Outro music: "Classique" from the YouTube Audio Library.
