Photo taken on May 12, 1939. This is the Ford Motor Building at the New York World’s Fair. Note the stainless sculpture of a V8-weilding Mercury. Glorious.

Not completely Ford related, but there are lot of crashed Fords in it… Oddly fascinating – like a train wreck or something. Oh, wait.

So Alan Mitchel sent me this link… Essentially, it’s just about every Ford ad printed from 1903 to present…

Check it out.

Apparently, even Henry Ford looked to Europe for design inspiration in the 1930’s… The above photograph shows a 1 of 1 prototype of the ’32 Ford designed by the legendary Pinin Farina in Italy. I had no idea…

And, if you are a rich man this beauty could be yours. Details here.

A few years ago, I found a really great resource for old Ford brochures called “The Old Car Manual Project.” I thought you guys might get a kick out of it.
