Craig,

Thanks for posting the photo of the Three Millionth Ford Truck. I had not seen this pic before.

Looks to be taken at Fair Lane on the driveway. If you look close you can see one of the 500 or so birdhouses Henry placed around the property.

Happy Birthday Henry. I'll take my "A" out for a drive today to celebrate.
Also like to share this original photograph from thr archives of the Detroit Times. Photo was taken in 1927 possibly as a publicity photo for the introduction of the Model A. Pasted to the back of the photograph is a cutting from the newspaper when it was published together with other notes.
Picture purchased on Ebay from historicalimages.com
