Ford reinforced that impression by carrying around scripts of plays he is supposed to be auditioning for; when the Earth is about to be demolished, he finally throws these scripts away.) However, Ford is actually from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, and had originally only come to Earth to do some research for an article he was writing on it for the Guide. Ford came to Earth for a week, and got stuck there for fifteen years, departing only when a fleet of Vogon constructor ships appear, taking Arthur Dent with him. Ford is the source of much explanation of the weird universe that Arthur finds himself in; for example, the importance of knowing where your towel is, sticking a fish in your ear, and why the greatest cooks in the universe cook such bad food on Vogon spaceships. Ultimately, however, his personal mission is to find a nice party and get incredibly drunk.

The car progressed in 1953 from its original perpendicular or 'sit-up-and-beg' style to a more modern 3-box structure. Like its siblings, the car became a popular basis for a hot rod especially in Britain where both its lightweight structure and its four cylinder engines appealed to the builders of these modified cars. __TOC__

The certificate, as it appeared on-screen, is printed in The Continuing Mission, a reference work Both Ford Prefect and the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation are references to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, though the original Ford Prefect was not associated with the Corporation. The original Prefect, (while Human-looking), was said to be a Betelgeusian.

According to the book, "Mostly Harmless," He was killed on Earth when the Vogons destroyed it again, as well as any chance of it ever existing in any universe again.
