Foden. Vehicles on parade. Late 1940's. (colour)

www.thefodensoc...
A colour Foden film showing a selection of vehicle's produced around the late 1940's and into the 1950's.
There is no sound track on the film other than the brass band backing music, the colour film is sharp although sometimes out of focus.
Featuring many S18 flat front's as well as the odd 'Vee' front of the FG/FE range, an 80 ton, 8LW powered heavy haulage tractor on road test, with a fleet of 'OG' 4 wheelers and a line up of new double decker buses for Warrington Corporation.
Some of the captions on the original film are incorrect.

Fabulous video. I've started restoring and customizing old Dinky Fodens and this was a wonderful insight into colour combinations. Many thanks

Never known Foden was into buses as well. Leaning all the time :) Rather sudden ending, if I may say so. All in all awesome footage. Thanks heaps for sharing!
