Sit back and enjoy Steeda s greatest hits.
Steeda was founded in 1988 by Dario Orlando, whose family has been involved with Ford since 1910. His father, Domenico Orlando, rose to become a Senior Design Stylist and was involved in designing the original Ford Thunderbird, Mustang, and the GT40 Mark IV. Dario grew up with a passion for car design that led him to start a business repairing and modifying performance vehicles. He also got into racing, and after showing his mettle in endurance racing, Ford poached him to become a test driver, which led him into a career developing performance and race vehicles.
