Re: What means the quail?
Not very filling but tasty. Takes a few to make a meal. Important to pick out the buckshot.

Those who have not experienced the sound of Qual flushing can never understand.

Re: What means the quail?
Henry came up with a few symbolic accessories for his cars even though Ford didn't make them. The quail came before the greyhound but the greyhound lasted longer in the V8 era.
Quail and the larger pheasant are from the same family of ground nesting birds that are common to North America in the form that Henry knew. There are other species of the same family all over the world but there are a lot of differences depending on location. Hunting them is still a seasonal activity for those that love to hunt game birds. Ground nesting birds don't fly much farther than they have to to survive but they get there pretty fast. Even the wild turkey, still active in this part of the world, flies very fast for a speedy getaway from predators. Last edited by rotorwrench; 01-26-2022 at 11:49 AM. |

Re: What means the quail?
When I was a kid I was riding a horse after dark in a harvested milo field. Had a covey of at least 20 quail flush directly under my horse. Quail came out from under the horse in all directions. Managed to stay on the horse but it was an exciting few seconds.

Re: What means the quail?
Sounds just like a herd of model A’s leaving work at quitting time!

Re: What means the quail?
Would have been a more exiting story if Henry had used his mistress as a model for the mascot.

Re: What means the quail?
Had a hard time learning to shoot with both feet off the ground when a covey of Bob white quail took off. Got so excited one day pulled both triggers at the same time and did not have the gun seated snuggly. What a bruised shoulder. I really like the flying quail radiator cap. Ge a lot of comments about it. People really surprised about the thermometer in the cap.
