The Ford 1908's March and Two-Step; It's the First Ford Song!
In 1908 Ford Motor Company used the rapidly growing recorded music and sheet music industry to help advertise their early cars. They did so by commissioning a song by Harry H Zickel to highlight their line of vehicles which was published in sheet music form as well as recorded on a 78rpm disc. This is that song as recorded by Arthur Pryor's Band.
We've provided early film of those early Fords such as the Model A, B, C, F, K, N, R, S, and finally the 1908.
A Model A is dedicated to the history of the Model A Ford using historical images and videos as well as modern resources.

A Prototype Model A Ford Pickup? The Slant Windshield Delivery Truck of 1931
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.3 месяца назад
Two grainy photographs. That's all we have to go by when talking about this curiosity of the Model A's. What we do know is that in March of 1931 two St. Louis, MO newspapers published very short pieces on this supposed new offering in the Ford commercial line. Was it a prototype? Maybe a pre-cursor to the Deluxe Pickup? A custom one-off done by a Ford dealer trying to attract attention? We may ...

      The view from inside the Tudor body was of a very early '28. It has the flat strap choke rod bracket so we know it's Dec '27 or earlier. It may have been a mockup or testing the assembly procedures prior to full production beginning. Later in production the gauges would have been installed on the dash first and then the whole assembly put on the car.

    As I’m watching this video. I’m amazed at the Men that designed all the equipment used to manufacture automobiles. In the very early 1900’s. The amount of time spent figuring everything out. The Draftsmen that took the ideas and drew out everything for every single part that went into the manufacturing of automobiles. All the parts for the iron workers that smelted the iron ore. Pouring the cast iron into the sand molds. Parts of the molten iron converted to steel. By shooting oxygen through a water lined copper pipe placed directly into the molten iron. Removing most of the carbon. Then pouring the steel into billets. The billets then soaked in pits to reach the optimal temperature to roll the billets into sheet metal, round stock or whatever was called for. Turning crude wavy glass into clear flat glass by polishing the glass. Using billets of steel to turn into body parts,frames,rivets,nuts and bolts. To the Men making the molds that were used to make sand castings.then pouring molten iron or steel into the sand cast molds. To the Men that used all the machinery to manufacture automobiles. Whenever the body of an automobile was changed,the men that made the molds to press the sheet metal into body panels. This was true American innovation that lead the USA into a world power.

    The windshield glare at night is annoying and somewhat unsafe. Similar to the current "blinding" lights of modern cars that frequently blind oncoming drivers. Frequently because those other drivers are "unconscious" about having their "high-beams" on while driving towards other drivers. ;o( I personally like the look of the straight windshield with the external visor better than the slant "roofline" treatment however. The "notch" that appears at the roofline of the slant doesn't look so good to my eye. ;o( FWIW of course !!!

    It's truly "fascinating" to watch these old "manufacturing" videos !!! Many might/would say these jobs were dull, boring, monotonous, and even degrading but they were "living wage" jobs in their time and employed thousands. Thanks for putting these up !! I watch them routinely and really LOVE the music as well !! The Rouge plant would really have been something to see !! They still have public "tours" but only show how they assemble a "pickup" or ??? Nothing like what the facility was like in its "heyday" !! Love that image in one of your videos of that scoop that transfers the iron ore and moves 16 tons of product with each "bite" !!! Deceptive in the video, that scoop must have been at least the size of a 10 yard "dump truck" !!! Henry wanted to be as "self sufficient" as was humanly possible as was evidenced by the size and scale of the Rouge facility and his ability to generate his own wood, glass, steel, rubber, fabric, electricity, etc. Today, this concept is entirely reversed as the manufacturers go to great lengths to "sub-contract" as much as possible in order to employ as few as possible. This concept is commonly known and applauded as "Progress" and "highly efficient" !!!

    Part of the reason that the cord of the wing is so thick is for the aircraft to have a real low stall speed ( the speed where the aircraft drops out of the sky. The reason is that Horsepower was low for the size of aircraft and the weight that it could carry. So the stall speed is probably 30 or 35 mph and the cruise speed is probably 90 mph. But with such a thick wing, it's easy to fly.

    Besides an owners manual, i also have a seat out of the first California flight, and my grandfather Russell William Bill Hull also gave one of the seats to his older brother Cliff Hull in Port Huron, Michigan. When i last saw, it was in better shape than mine. I have a picture of my mom sitting in the chair when she was three in about 1936.

    I believe that my grandfather worked there in 1923 as an assistant superintendent. I have an owners manual for one. And some pictures of one with pontoons and with my grandfather being lowered into the Great Lake.
