In 1945 Henry Ford II and designer E.T. Gergorie got together and come
up with the "Sportsman. A woodie convertible that they thought might
perk up the warmed over 1942s that would become the 1946 models. A
prototype was built in October 1945 and was given a green light for full
production. Sales were meager and production only lasted two years, but
the "Sportsman" left an indelible mark on post World War II auto
history. This book gives you a close-up look at both the Ford and
Mercury "Sportsman".
