Ford released the link for the heritage vault on June 16, and the website has already crashed due to excessive online traffic. The digital archive contains high-resolution photos and brochures of nearly all Ford cars, right from the Model T to the Mustang, to the Bronco, to the F-150 and a lot more. In fact, the heritage vault also contains models of other Ford-owned marques like Lincoln and Edsel.

Ford was able to create this online archive with the help of its employees, from the past and present, as well as students from Wayne State University's library and information science program. Making sure that all Ford enthusiasts get to enjoy this trip down memory lane, the carmaker has even introduced several accessibility features to the site. This includes assistive technology for the visually impaired, like image translations and more.

While the Ford Heritage Vault will certainly be a treat for enthusiasts and collectors, the fact that the company is also offering brochures, press and sales literature will prove to be of great help for restorers and old Ford car owners. Details like - available factory options, correct colours, badge placement, interior configurations, and more, will be a great resource to them.
