- My doctor's father bought a new Ford Prefect in 1949 - now it is for sale, and he asked me sell it for him. The car is in excellent shape and I have photographs. Price would be in the US$5,000 area

- Well I for one would like to see some digital pictures if you have them just to see what a Ford Prefect looks like. And to the list, on a related note, the Ford Prefect did come up a month or two ago

- Well, there are 5 books to the trilogy. The last one was just to do it, wasn't as good. And 2 Dirk Gentry books, that I rather liked. All of them are pretty quick reads.

- Have you tried the Prefecture? (sorry, couldn't resist) There seem to be enthusiasts around, but invariably there is some tie to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. I never really was able to rea

- The car isn't in the book at all. An alien comes down to earth and pretends to be human. He took the name of Ford Prefect by a mistake in researching human culture. They are funny books, and don't ta

- In that wholly remarkable book, the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, Ford Prefect was not a car, but was Arthur Dent's (the protagonist) friend. He also turned out to be an alien as well. A real ho
