This is one of my all time favorite Chevrolets. You could sure find some nice restoration details by using this car at the Henry Ford Museum.

Early photograph of Ford Prototype with Henry Ford & my grandfather!

by mkm5

Good morning!

I have an old picture my grandfather passed down that was said to have been of he and Henry Ford, along with others, around an early prototype which appears to be a clay and steel or wood model.

My mother said it was from 1909, but it looks more like late teens or early 20s to me. My grandfather is the tall fellow looking through the center window from behind...

Ford Market Share. Pre T

by Rob Patterson

Hi,

Rob

Ford videos

by Jim Mason

Mitch posted a link to the Ford factory videos. the one titled 'Ford river rouge plant 1928 and beyond' shows at the 20second to 40second mark the pedestrian overpass where the battle of the overpass occurred. Walter ruether and others got beat up pretty bad by Ford security.

Radio Speaker 1949 Ford Shoebox

by Flying Ford

I have a Motorola 9MF radio that was original equipment in the 1949-50 Ford. I restored the radio but need the right speaker for it. The schematic for the radio doesn't indicate how many ohms the speaker should be. Does someone know whether the speaker was 4, 8, or 10 ohms?

1931 Ford Airport Shuttle Bus

by Tom Wesenberg

About 5 miles from my house is the Blaine airport, which also houses a nice air museum.
Among the many exhibits is an air car from the 50's, and a Ford Tri Motor.
In the rear corner of the museum is this nice original 1931 Ford shuttle bus for Henry Ford's airport.
Notice is has duals in the back, and uses a Fordson tractor radiator. Gas fill is inside the windshield....
