Ford Popular

The first Ford car specifically designed for the British market, the 933 cc, 8 hp Model Y ‘Baby Ford’ Popular was unveiled at London’s Royal Albert Hall by Ford’s oldest British dealer, A E Rumsey of Bristol on this day (19 February) in 1932. The price of the new car available as both 2- and 4-door saloons was forecast to be £100 or less and was claimed to have a maximum speed of 55 mph, and when running gently was capable of 43 mpg. It had a three-speed gearbox with synchromesh on top and second gears – a first for a British car of such modest size and price. http://bit.ly/1OjdOuX
