Happy Birthday , Mr. Ford ! You are really looking good for your age too ! Thanks for making the best cars for hotrods too ! Retro Jim
"probably wouldn't like Hot Rods" I don't think so, to get attention to his product.....he created a couple of Hot Rods and the first one, he was the race driver! I think Ol' Heny would get a kick out of how long his cars have lasted and what we have all done to them.
my thoughts too. if he didnt like hot rods he had a funny way of showing it with his theories on racing and all. first on sunday means sales on monday was one of his mantras i believe. he might have been a radical custom fan too, if you consider the designs of the edsel line. lol!
^^ that caught me by suprise as well^^ but then when I think about it I can see him not liking any non factory built hot rods Old guy would probly see them as competition! hard to say but Happy Birthday any way and thank you to the Entire Ford family for keeping an american icon afloat! Now could you guys make a full size sedan that looks better than a 300 has the same or more room and can out run the cadillac cts v on the ring? I got some Galaxie badges I could loan for the effort!
Happy belated birthday, King Henry V8! My late father worked for Ford, Atlanta Assembly Plant, from 1952-1982. Daddy only had an 8th grade education, but he won enough in employee suggestion awards to pay for most of my way through college.
...and a belated Happy Birthday to another Automotive Giant with a huge legacy to the industry (and great friend of Henry's), Alfred P. Sloan Jnr. May 25th 1875.
