Five Stars Ahead - Ford Anglia & Prefect

This is the 1952 launch film for the new E100A Ford Anglia and Prefect range. Shot in 35mm, this film has some lovely shots of Ford's design studios, the factory at Dagenham, the prototypes undergoing testing, and finishes with the new cars being used by delighted families. Filled with optimism, this film captures the mood of motoring from the time, where the country was emerging from the post-war gloom days and looking to a brighter new future.

Done - thanks for the tip! (Glad you liked the video - it has a lovely warmth to it).

Thanks for posting this brilliant video. We are lucky enough to own a 1958 Ford Prefect 100E, restored to complete original specification. Please put a better descriptive title on your video for people to find it easily. Sadly there is NOTHING in your video title using the 'obvious' words about 1950s Ford Prefect/Anglia models etc. Cheers (just trying to be helpful honest)!
