Description: After The Drive located Ford's original "Big Red" experimental turbine-powered truck, which had been lost for decades, Ford Motor Company digitized and restored a documentary film about the futuristic semi (circa 1966). Thanks to Ford for releasing this cool piece of history from the archives! "The whole world is on the threshold of a golden age in transportation." Music: "Fast-moving orchestral theme with atmosphere of activity." The Queen's Hall Light Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Alwyn. 1961.
