Check out these old Postcards from the early days of Ford Motor Company. I realise that they are from the Model T days, but they are still very interesting to look at.

Neat!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks mercman, that was definitely worth looking at!

Oh how times have changed, and will change some more.

Very cool! I wonder why one post card has a stamp from the '16 World Stamp Show. I went to the show held in the Jacob Javits Center in NYC. I was blown away with stamps worth millions of dollars and original letters signed by Ben Franklin, John Hancock and others. Do you own the postcards?

Ford was one of the men who opened the way to modernize the world .....

Would this '32 be considered a Restomod. It has 50 year old late model running gear.

With the big 'n little wheel and tire combo, along with the resultant rake, this little coupe falls right into the "traditional hot rod" category, and a MIGHTY-NICE one at that! DD
