I've received many compliments on the car.

its a interesting point,Ford expanded commercial colors in 30/31,that could possibly be the beginning of marketing influence,Mr Fords trait was to marginalize something he was unsure of,yet give it a chance to grow..Banking and financials already taken away from him,manufacturing long gone from his control,engineering was on the precipice,Ford clung where he could..marketing was given a toe hold,a spot to bloom from,Ford commercial in 30/31 could have been the spot..or perhaps the place the ideas grew from outside of his control..still the point is dont marginalize him yet,he's still cresting from the T..but other dynamics are in play.the 'old man' is being levered..
