From trucks to cufflinks, the Ford Heritage Vault has it all

Journey Through Ford’s Rich Heritage: From Massive F-150 Electric Prototype to Unique Cufflinks of 1966

Delve into the innovative universe of Ford Motor Company as we journey through its rich heritage from the F-150 electric prototype, the crown jewel and the massive object in the company's Heritage Vault, to the smallest – an exquisite pair of cuff links from 1966. This is a tribute to the sheer depth and breadth of the American automotive giant’s legacy, which has captivated Corpus Christi and towns all across Texas, from Portland to Kingsville, Sinton to Alice, and beyond.

The F-150 Electric Prototype: Ford's Powerhouse

The F-150 electric prototype is no ordinary vehicle. This engineering marvel represents the largest item in Ford's Heritage Vault. It rose to fame when it towed a million-pound train in a commercial, taking the world by storm and embodying the power, robustness, and the 'Built Ford Tough' ethos that Ford vehicles are renowned for.

1966 Ford Cufflinks: An Emblem of Prestige and Rarity

At the other end of the scale sit the 1966 Ford cufflinks, perhaps the smallest artefacts in the Ford Heritage Vault, but with a story as engaging as their esteemed commercial giant sibling. These unique cufflinks, made exclusively to commemorate Ford’s victory in 1966, symbolize the company’s breakthrough in design and racing success. Today they are considered highly prized memorabilia sought after by car connoisseurs.
