BOOKS

Two books that should be on your shelf:

TAURUS The Making of the car that Saved Ford
By Eric Taub

  This book about the original 1986 Taurus.  Helps you understand the thinking of the people behind the Generation I Taurus.  Not about the SHO, but a book you should have anyway.

ISBN Number 0-525-93372-7   $21.95 suggested retail
I bought it recently for $10.95 at Powells used book store online.

 

CAR A Drama of the American Workplace
By Mary Walton

  Mary got almost unprecendented access to the inside workings of Ford as the Third generationi (1996-1999) Taurus was reasearched and created.  You get to know both upper and lower level Ford people and also get inside information on suppliers.  I found the book spellbinding, almost a mystery novel.  Of course it helps to be a gearhead and love the car.

  Not much in here about the SHO, but it is mentioned along with the SHO Registry.  Read and you will be able to amaze your friends with little known facts about dash buttons, grills, and those delightful headlights!

ISBN Number 0-393-04080-1  $26.95 suggested retail. 
I bought it recently for $7.98 at Powells used book store online.

 

Have other books you think SHO owners would enjoy?  Let me know I will post them here.
