There is a reason Clyde Barrow exclusively stole these things.

4200 RPM! Every one of those 85 horses clawing up that mountain!

conozco uno igualmente super original llantas amarillas .

even tho these films are of low quality and B/W they have an endearing quality to them..and a rare chance to have a look at our past..to say they are cool is an understatement..plz post more..new sub..

You did a great job on this video and I very much enjoyed watching it. I’ve had a 29/30 D.B Victoria for many years, worked very hard at collecting original parts and pieces and I hope to one day put it all together as close to it’s original glory as possible. Wish me good fortune

do you want jobs and an over sense of community and pride? because this is how you get jobs and an overall sense of community and pride.

no idea they had their own foundry... amazing.

That's awesome! I have wondered how the Red Barchetta would do on pikes peak? The scary part is coming back down.

Awesome

Great job on telling the story.

Think about all the tools and machines that needed to be made to begin with.

Great video.thanks

Thank you Ken for sharing this old video on the Pikes Peak Ford V-8 performance. And the Stock car race.

By the way, Chevy climbed up Pikes Peak off road in the late 1950's with a 4x4 truck!! I thought that was impressive.

I wonder what Ford did to those cars to keep them from overheating during the climb? Those flathead V8's were notorious for overheating in the best of conditions. It makes me question how "stock" they were, LOL.

You sound like you're broadcasting from the bottom of a 32 gallon shitcan

They Don't Need All The Models, And The Government Stuck There Nose in To Far. All They Need Is One Small, Medium And One Large., Also Medium Trim and One High End Packages 😊

Quite apart from tariffs and protectionism or the lack thereof, in 1948 it was physically no harder to load a crated CKD kit ("Completely Knocked Down") onto a ship than a completed car. Sometime in the 1960s that changed with oceangoing "Ro-Ro" (roll on, roll off) ships where cars completed to the point of being drivable can be, and are driven on board and driven off just as they would be from a river or lake ferry.

Built between 1917 and 1922, the Fordson tractor advanced mechanized agriculture away from draft horses and mules (such as the Ford Model T advanced transportation). In order to consolidate its core automotive businesses, Ford sold its tractor operation to FIAT in 1991. Under the arrangement, New Holland was allowed to use Ford branding for a limited time until around the year 2000.

No matter what language you speak, a Ford is Freaking Old Rebuilt Dodge

Great to see Wellington New Zealand Ford plant, GM stopped making cars for right hand drive. Ford are making right hand drive Mustangs in USA and exporting all around the world,No wonder why the company is so successful.

Put a 3 inch magnet on the back of he tank along with the wix filter. Still clean fuel filter and carb once a year.

Around the world in 80 days. Harrumph! I just went 'round the world in 30 minutes!

Liked the guy calling his wife a backseat driver. Classic.

No mention of the Marmon V16 here. surprising.

Dusenbergs were $8500 for the chassis and cowl only. Then you had to have a body put on it.

Your opinion about seeing the folding chairs, the building being used for events ruins the video. Just show us the museum and report the facts so we can enjoy it. Thanks for the tour

Ford was nowhere NEAR bankrupt at the time. That's a magnificent lie!! The Company was flush, and Ford himself was rich beyond the stratosphere. Sales were slower due to the Depression, yes, but the Company was in no danger. They had even shut down all the plants completely, to retool for the change from Model T to Model A, that's how strong Ford was at the time. The Model A was very successful. High-priced car Companies were the ones going bankrupt in 1932, not Ford. Ford was picking up some customers who could no longer afford higher-priced cars. Henry was already near completing design and engineering of the V8 when Chevy brought out their new engine. There was no panic at Ford over this. Post-WW2 is the first time Ford had some financial difficulties, when HFII took over leading the Company after Henry Sr became senile and unable to lead things. The Whiz Kids came in and restored the Company's health, while HFII was learning the job.

at the 14,58 mark no car seat needed for the small kid siting right in front lol,,,,,i did the same thing just open the beer botttle for dad while i was driving on highway 11 way up in northern ontario i was 12 years old driving a 3 on the colum ford 150 with a small 302 motor way back in 1983,,,,lol he said u ok son i said shure im good dad,,,,doing a solide 55mph,,,lolo..rest in peace dad,,,and the old dont tell your mom ok,,,,,

I never understood why Ford put insert bearings on the rods but left poured babbitt in the mains up too late 1936 LB motors.. Had a few flatmotors and they weren't very good....Nothing but trouble...

Your presentation is a Duesy‼️Thx U 🇺🇸👍

The basis of the "Arsenal of Democracy" that would help win WWII 13 years later. Sadly, our country is no longer capable to manufacture such victories. JJS

Thanks for providing a very interesting video.

I sure wish Ford still had integrity like this. I try to buy parts at the dealer for an older vehicle and they shrug their shoulders and say that anything over ten years old is no longer supported by Ford parts. Throwaway junk.

Well, whatever Ford is doing today, Ford reeks.

Did a solid front axle ever need wheel alignment?

I'll take a coupe please!

Ford Motor Company was likely the most vertically integrated automaker at that time. Henry Ford was so distrustful of vendors and suppliers that he built factories (and purchased groves of hardwood trees and rubber plantations) to produce his own components. In Ford magazine advertisements it was mentioned that vertical integration eliminated the profit of suppliers, thus making the Ford car (the finished product) cheaper for the customer. In reality, it was not necessarily cheaper for FoMoCo to manufacture its own components. Third party suppliers who concentrated on a limited number of components could often be more efficient at production than FoMoCo. The River Rouge plant in Dearborn Michigan was vertically integrated to the extent that raw materials entered and finished cars exited. After Henry Ford passed in 1947, his three grandsons made numerous changes... including using more third party suppliers.

“The safety of steel from pedal to wheel” -Henry Ford, age 73 (1937)

7:25 My dad (b. 1930) often used the term "parking your carcass" ... I wonder if he got it from _THIS_ old commercial?

I worked there for 35 years. Its old and worn out. Hard place to work.

That revolving ashtray was too cool but that guy’s wife had the last word on everything.

.The story I got was Ford required transmissions be shipped in crates that could be put in the floor cut to the correct size with holes in the correct.places.

I love when motor car companies would concentrate on the power plant instead of the body styling.

I’d sure like to walk outside and see a brand new ‘35 Ford V/8 sitting in my driveway.

Where did FORD QUALITY GO? Theynwontevenlastv150,000 miles now.

Ford had teach everybody how to nuild a v8

He said the V8 had the economy of a 4. Well, not in fuel economy. Those flatheads were strong smooth motors, but fuel efficient they were not.

"These are not merely claims; we know these statements to be true." Unlike the unfortunate misstatements of previous model years.

Note Edsel showing his Father Henry the "new " Ford. Transverse leaf springs mechanical brakes & all that good stuff-but at least it could be had with a V-8. That overheated.
