It was originally posted in the Model T section. Great old film, I understand why Ryan likes the early Ford advertisements.

Enjoyable video! I even learned something- how to pronounce Houdaille- "Who-die" as in shocks. Dennis/Arkansas

Dennis/Arkansas ... You're not alone in not knowing how to pronounce "HOUDAILLE" ... the company even knew their name was difficult for the average American to pronounce (as evident by their circa 1930 advertisement & logo):

Very nice film that should be rerun on the forum every now and then. I surley did enjoy it. You know that all the people in the film are gone by now. Time goes faster the older we get. Just can't slow it down. I have tried. Thanks again for the film.

Thank you for letting me know that I'm not the only person unable to pronounce it. I was feeling pretty bad about it! Dennis/Arkansas

Thanks for sharing. Got any more old videos in your bag of tricks?

Bugsy · 06-03-2010, 08:14 PM

I wonder where any of those (or parts to) the give-a-way '32's are now??!! That is so cool! I love the original ads. Thanks for that!!!

I would love to see a stock '32 Ford roadster or coupe in person some time. Even at last year's old car festival, I think there was only a phaeton or something.

Heck, maybe I'll just build one from a Brookville body and cast-offs from hot rods.
