The Ford Barn

I've wanted to post a movie for a while but with all of the bickering about non-Ford post I opped not to until now. (figured if you had already enjoyed one movie a second would not hurt) It was produced by Henry Ford but is more about life in early 20 centry America. Titled "Mirror of America" Its 30+ minutes long but I found it very interesting.

The unmarked lanes made for some interesting freestyle driving. I guess they were used to it and looked before moving to the side.

I got the link to the Wilshire Blvd clip last year and the opening scene was really good timing. It just happened that at at the same time I was doing some things to my friend's car below. The car at the beginning of the clip turns out to be a British built RHD Rolls of the same period (1926ish), while the one below is U.S. built. It sure is a kick seeing the cars in the clip!!!

A beautiful Phantom I. I've always loved the Rolls.
