Lawrie just finished his ‘33 and man-o-man… There is something just so damned visual about a ‘33/34 sedan, isn’t there? Check out the rest of the photos here.

The above image was posted in the “Old Ford Pictures” thread and I just didn’t want it to get lost in the mix. It was posted by “Old Henry” and it features his pops standing proudly by an incredibly tasteful roadster. Pictures like these are why I love this stuff gentlemen.

Craig Gorris sent this over and it’s glorious… Essentially, it’s a 1954 film produced by Ford in an effort to show off Ford’s ability to create both jobs and great products.

We’ve talked about Willow Run Airport before, but I’ve never seen video coverage of the plant Ford used to contribute to the war effort. This one was sent to me and while sort of off-topic, I figured you guys would appreciate it.

So Chris posted his Christmas card and it got me thinking about these old Fords of ours in the snow. It makes for a wonderful picture, does it not? We don’t get much snow down here in Austin, so I’ll have to live vicariously through your guys… Post your favorite show shot!!!!

Jay Ward found this series. It’s a pretty great compilation of Ford/Mercury promotional videos from 1941 that capture the selling points of the “big” new cars. Figured you fellas would enjoy it.

This is cooler than spit. The image above was sent to me by Joe Young out of Slapout, Alabama. The milk truck belonged to his grandfather – his grandfather’s two sons (Hey Joe, doesn’t that make one of them your father? Maybe?) stand proudly beside. YES!

I love old images like this.

A lot of you guys have probably already seen this. We featured it on jalopyjournal.com a few years ago and it was a frequent email bomb for years as well. However, Glenn Smith recently reminded me of it and decided a repost was in order. It’s pretty amazing to see the prices and the marketing pitch is glorious.

I found this old “knock-down” while cruising the Ford Barn galleries and just had to feature it… These coach built trucks have always enamored me as they are built so purposely and I’m continually left wondering what that exact purpose was. In any case, you can see more images here.

Well, the young man pulled it off… If you remember, Jonathan decided to park his late model car and use his model-a sedan for everyday transportation – rain, shine, or snow. Not surprisingly at all (to this Ford man anyhow), he was able to pull it off with minimal drama. His final post sums it all up well.

Check it out.
