The Ford Barn

I was dragged out of my cave to the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" last night by my grandkids. Movie itself was pretty much all flashy special effects for the Harry Potter crowd, but it was set in NYC in 1926. Nearly all the traffic shown was Model T's, mostly a considerable variety of 1920's Models. Old car scenes were numerous but brief; I almost missed some flashes of interesting looking stuff, and except for some Buick police cars did not have enough time to ID much except the familiar Fords. Something brass went by, but was gone before I could focus. Ford appearances are frequent enough to keep you awake though all the dragons, especially if you like expensive popcorn.
