Default Re: German engine?

This has been posted before, but there was a prewar connection between Ford and VW. Briggs was closely aligned with Ford and in 1933 presented a "dream car" designed by Tjarda (sp?) that featured Ford running gear including rear mounted flathead. Shortly after, Briggs became involved with Chrysler and Ford totally severed any connection with the car. But, Porsche incorporated many of the design features in the "Peoples Car."
