The Ford Motor Company was founded in Detroit over 120 years ago, on 16 June 1903. Within five years, it had hit the jackpot, creating the most important, and for a long time the best-selling, car in history.

General Motors has a particularly fine - though occasionally patchy - history of V8 engines which extends back more than a century.

Back to the future. The Ford Heritage Vault is one of the finest sources of publicly available archive information provided by any car maker – and it just keeps getting better. In a recent update, many previously unseen images of concept cars have been added, bringing the total to nearly 2000. We can’t show them all here, but what we can do is take you through 50 Ford concepts, many (if not most) of which you might never have heard of.
