Ford set to lead Cork's St Patrick’s Day parade

From Model Ts to muscle cars — a fleet of historic Ford vehicles will lead Cork’s St Patrick’s Day parade as the company marks its 100-year connection to the city.

A 1922-built three-litre Model T, one of the 15.8m built by Ford between 1908 and 1927, a Fordson tractor, the iconic Cortina, and the company’s latest hi-tech muscle car, the Mustang, will lead some 3,000 participants in parade through the city centre.

A grand marshall is expected to be announced in the coming days.
