Constructor's Note
Collaboration with Jeff Linder.
This puzzle is a collaboration with fellow Crosshare user Jeff Linder. After coming up with the theme -- originally a 21x21 grid -- I sent the thematic skeleton of the grid to Jeff. He fleshed out the fill and then I wrote the clues. Any feedback is appreciated.

      Hah, nice. Didn't get the rebuses until the very end... was a bit puzzled as I went through the clues!

          Very fun rebus! First time I've ever seen that clue for 45-D, entirely new to me.

            I guess that's a good Ford quote; sadly, I can't find a video of his speech. Now he's gone, and everybody says Chase is a dick. I don't know if there's anything to learn from all this.
