THANKS very much for posting that Fabulous Ford History video.
It makes one proud to be an American and live in the very best country in the world when products were proudly stamped "Made In the USA".
Henry Ford and his successors were of a very special caliber and literally put America
and the world on wheels. Now, it's more appropriate than ever to ask (as Lee Iacocca did in his 2007 book "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?"

Here's another good one...although wish it had the actual sound instead of music.

The footage up to just before the 7 minute mark is in amazing condition.

Enjoy!

For those who may not have noticed, that video was made by our own Lorin Sorensen. I'm sure even the newcomers here have heard the name.

Didn't catch their involvement with this video until now though.
