Ford Life: The Magazine About Fords, People, Places and Events
Ford Life is a bi-monthly slick-paper magazine, billed as "The Magazine About Fords, People, Places and Events." It's basically a turbo-charged fanzine about All Things Ford, every issue being chock-a-block with articles, photographs (many of a historical nature), reproductions of vintage Ford Motor Company promotional materials, notices of events for Ford enthusiasts, and so much more (including pretty regular hosannahs in praise of that noted anti-Semite Henry Ford and othermembers of his family). Early issues were published out of Stockton, California, with Lorin Sorensen and Gordon Chamberlin sharing editorial duties (and also indicated as the publishers); as of Vol. 2, No. 4, the editorial/publication offices relocated to St. Helena, California, at which point Sorensen seems to have become the head guy, although Chamberlin was still involved. In total there were 22 issues, beginning with the November-December 1970 issue, are: Volume 1, Nos. 1-7 (1970-1971); Volume 2, Nos. 1-6 (1972); Volume 3, Nos. 1-6 (1973); Volume 4, Nos. 1-3 (first half of 1974). The final issue was dated May-June 1974, and while there's no indication in the magazine itself of an intention to cease publication, the library records I've been able to find all agree that the run ended in 1974. (And speaking of library records, an OCLC search turns upon only six institutional holdings of this publication, four of which are in Michigan.)
The Nine Volumes included are Volume Two, Numbers 2, 4 & 5; Volume Three, Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, & 6;Volume Four, Number 3.
