Being born in 1937 this video sure brings back memories, my first car a used Ford 1942, auto shop in Jr. High, hot rods and lowered and raked custom cars were in the parking lot of my Hollywood High School. These were the days when metal was metal and chrome was chrome and craftsmanship meant something. The 50’s are a bygone happy era and I always thought I would like to come back in 50 years but unfortunately now I don’t think so 😢

I got my first driver's license in 1968 also. I didnt have my own car yet. So my only choice was my Dad's 1968 Mustang GT. My Dad at the time was going through his midlife crisis (to my benefit!). The Mustang was a hardtop. Dark Maroon, black vinyl top with a white strip. What made the car stand out was (remember. "Midlife Crisis") the 390 cid V-8 (335 hp) and a 4 speed stick. My dad was very liberal in letting me drive the car. I also was very, very, very lucky never to have gotten a speeding tkt. The "Fun" lasted 2 years. In 1970 I was college bound and 1st car was a 1969 VW bug. Talk about "power back" from 335 hp to 53 hp. Somehow I never got any speeding tkts in the old V Dub too...😄

Henry Ford was an engineering genius. His model T was a tough all terrain vehicle , as there were hardly any roads in the modern sense. He pioneered the use of vanadium steel for axles and springs, and kept on testing his car designs under the most ardous conditions, till he was satisfied with the model T. The USA led the world in auto design and production thanks to Henry and Edsel Ford.

Like was popular at the time I had a name painted on the rear quarter panel: “Country Stock”. It was in good condition and looked cool especially after I lowered it all around. I paid $105.00 for it and drove it a few years until I bought a 1955 Ford, 2-door sedan with a overhead valve V-8. Next car was a 1957 Thunderbird with a 312 V-8 with 3-2 bbl carbs. I wanted more speed so I installed a early 60’s Ford 406 cubic inch, 405 horsepower V 8 and 3-2 bbl carbs and a four speed Ford trans= F U N !!! Gasoline was, I believe, 32 cents/gal for PREMIUM. :)

My grandfather's first car in 1940, when he was 14, was a black 1936 coupe. He was a mechanic then and picked it up cheap. He owned several Fords through the years, even going as far to request a Ford jeep while stationed in the Philippines as head of the motor pool. He had four children. The oldest, born in 1945 got a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL 390 in 1964. The next child, his daughter, got a 1960 Starliner in '65. My father, born in '56, had a red 1969 Fairlane Cobra sportsroof R code ram air while he was dating my mom in 1973. That's the car I came from the hospital in. He bought it from our cousin who was a year older. After I was born, they sold it and bought a 1963 Mercury Monterey 4 door. They traded that for a Gran Torino in '75. The last child, born in '62, got a 1965 Mustang in 1978. My grandfather always owned Ford trucks for work and bought Lincolns for my grandmother. My dad always owned a Ford truck, including a super nice 67 SWB back in the early 1980s. My first car was a 1968 Torino GT fastback. I've owned 5 Mustangs, 3 Torinos, 2 Mavericks, and 2 Ford trucks.

The Model A was the first truly modern car. You could climb in it and fire it up and it'd run and go 50. My grandfather was a salesman in Western Kansas and he put a lot of miles on a Model A. He told me the Model A was a game changer. He also said when the Ford V8 came out that it burned more oil than gas (exaggerating). He described to me once how to change a flat on a Model T. It was quite a process. He said it didn't happen unless it was raining/snowing and you had a date.

The Model A was a beautiful car. The Model T...well, it was pretty utilitarian looking to me...while not that attractive, it was definitely transformative.
@eddieristau4214
Жыл бұрын
That's basically how Henry Ford wanted the Model T and that's pretty much utilitarian, a vehicle that could cover the masses. Ford did over the top with that car but there was a stubbornness with Henry. It was actually the genius of his son Edsel to try to wring out new ideas to keep up with the competition in which it did help tremendously.

He was admired by Hitler. Fords picture was on Hitler's desk. But during the war ford did build good military vehicles for the USA. Lot of Americans did not want war with Germany. There are 58 million people of German descendants in the USA. General George Patton said we fought the wrong enemy and he was right. We ended up in a cold war with the Russian Bolsheviks for 40 or 50 years, a Korean war. a Vietnam war and we are still enemies with Russia. General Patton was right and a vast majority of Americans did not want war with Germany.

Valuable history to give that gives us the a look back to where and how it all got started, America's love for the automobile.
