Ford Heritage Vault

Not sure if this has been shared…

Ford digitized over 5,000 documents spanning 100 years of its operation. Available on the searchable Ford Heritage Vault website, these documents range from car images to relatively obscure optional equipment brochures. Say, if you wanted to see the brochure for your rare accessory steering wheel, a few keystrokes into the search bar on the Ford Heritage Vault site will produce the entire brochure for your reading pleasure.

You might expect the folks at Ford to throw this behind some obscene subscription service, or lock documents behind a paywall—this work wasn’t free, after all. Well, there’s even better news: It might be hard to imagine, but all of these documents, and the website that hosts them, are available free of charge.

Lots of neat stuff in there for sure - it crashed for the first few days after they released it due to the traffic load. I didn't see anything new Bronco-related, except maybe a few of the more-encompassing brochures, that I hadn't seen yet but still cool nonetheless.

Glad to see the access is free. I recall a few years ago this was being discussed as a subscription service.
