Curious about Coupe tops.....

[ronn]

actually cost was a big factor-he owned acres of woods and harvested his own.
most everyone knows the story of Henry using shipping crates of wood to recycle back into the bodys, seats etc. Why there were many different woods used and often diff woods within the same car.
Henry wasnt just the #1 builder of cars-he made them affordable, gave people jobs and did so much more for the economy. He knew how to be cost effective.

If he were alive today, he would be sent to Wash, to clean house!
Ford Motor Co still runs a pretty tight ship today, why they refused tarp $.

What a coincidence, I've own three new Fords since then.............
Recently I went back to GM when I was given a new Buick Lacrosse. These ladies of the Blue Rinse Brigade here at the Home are quite generous.


But here I am back with another Ford....and loving it!!!!!

Henry also promoted a scheme to finance the TVA project of the thirties. Just print dollars with TVA across the back and then retire/destroy them as they came back into govt hands. Regrettably, It wasn't used!
