Ford Falcon: Tru-Blu Underdog (Part 2)
Manage episode 438190289 series 3515735
Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday. The '70s was a tale of two decades for Ford. Its early track triumphs faded into the rearview mirror as the '80s loomed. Fed up with pouring cash into racing for dwindling returns, Ford did the unthinkable... and might have gotten away with it were it not for a band of die-hard Ford employees.
Working in secret, they risked it all to ensure the Blue Oval would still face off against Holden on the track, sparking what may be the greatest underdog story in Australian sporting history.
