[78-L] Ford^

[Mike Daley]

According to this site (
http://www.neatorama.com/2008/02/18/evolution-of-car-logos/):

In 1909, Childe Harold Wills, Ford’s first chief engineer and designer (who
also helped to design the Model T), lent a script font that he created to
make his own business card, to create the Ford logo. The famous blue oval
was added later for the 1927 Model A – it remained in use until today.
