Posted - 01/02/2025 : 00:51:40 I have such appreciation and respect for cars of the '20's and 30's, as you've probably noticed in some of my posts over the years, including the one yesterday to start the new year.
Sometimes I wish I had a magic wand that would make the old iron more interesting to a lot more people these days.
Here's is an old film that's been restored, showing the production of Lincolns in the period right after Henry and Edsel Ford purchased that company from the Lelands. What these engineers and factory workers did, basically without a play book, inventing as they went along, always gets my top respect. Hope you guys will like seeing how old iron really got started, and maybe this will open more collectors' eyes more favorably toward that era, 100 years ago.
Posted - 01/02/2025 : 20:27:34 I watched the wire-wheel assembly section four times! Too bad there was no sound, so we could hear what the assembler was listening for.
And I had no idea there were that many layers of roof covering.
No computers or robots here ..... people learned their skill, performed it every day, and we didn't need to recall 500K vehicles because the computers and QC equipment missed something.
