Musings About Ford Branches That Assembled Cars
we have a building here that was a Branch that did assemble cars...Dear Old Dad said the back lot was empty in the early morning, full of cars later on.
I know they assembled cars but I wonder if chassis etc. arrived assembled or what. It is a large building but I would assume painting new cars would consume huge space for that process. Also the Branch would have to store large amounts of parts, both for assembly and service. I am aware Branches gave tours, at least some did, just wondering how they could put together a new car, or did bodies arrive assembled but not painted, etc. |

Re: Musings About Ford Branches That Assembled Cars
Hello, I think the sedan bodies from Briggs and Murray were painted at there factories ,Fenders probably arrived painted also.Hoods would have to be painted to match, the judging standards even mentioned a mismatch of color because of that.The railroads of that era had specially dedicated cars just for the auto service.
