That was great. I had to halt the movie a couple times to get a good look... designs concepts and test track footage. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Ryan, always a pleasure to see that movie. Great post.
There's another one, with no sound, maybe a pice of the footage that wasn't included in "The Human Bridge". It's on Youtube and linked to my blog, with other movies of the Shoebox, from 1949 until 1951. Here's the link:

That was great ! A real piece of great history of our Ford ! I have loved the 49 Ford since I was a small boy . Well today I have a 49 Ford Tudor and just bought another one to build . So I guess I am Lucky to have 2 , 1949 Fords !
Those were the days of where you could have a car that was different than your neighbors looked like . Unlike today where everyones cars look the same made from the same cookie cutter stamp !
Ryan , thanks for the great memories of our days gone by of our beloved Fords !

Nice Ryan. My first car was a 1950 2 door Ford. Pretty much the same as the '49. Did you catch the 8n tractor in the drafting room? Around 10:15 movie time
