Re: Rhapsody in Steel
Film was made for showing at the Ford Building at the 1934 Chicago Worlds Fair. The car being built is a 1934 (check the hood -- two hood handles per side).

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
I think the "Bad Fairy" comes into my shop at night and messes things up. I KNOW I'm not that messy.

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
What a cool little movie! Must have taken a lot of effort and talent to do all that in 1933. Thanks for sharing that with us Ryan.

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
That was fun! I felt like a kid again watching that. That probably took some serious technology for its time.

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
How many parts were in a '33 or '34 Tudor? I seem to remember that the T was @ 5,000 and the A @ 6,500.
Do half of connecting rods come with skirts??

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
my wife loves learning about the old cars...she's going to love this film. When we got married, she went to the barn and saw one of my disassembled cars and said, "Wow, I never saw a naked car before."

That was really neat. Although I might have been a little creeped out by the dancing male and female connecting rods if I didn't know what they were lol

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
Great film; thanks! It was made fairly late in the '34 model year given the square ends on the spring leaves.

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
Thank you "Henry Hopper" for the video link, it's much appreciated...
The why is, that I'm in the start process of making a model of a 1933 Ford Fordor Deluxe Sedan in honour of my parents; it was the vehicle my dad had when they were married in 1950. I've been searching the internet for photos from the sides, front, rear and top of the 1933 Ford that would help me scale the toy/model without a lot of success. Blueprint measurement would of also been great to find but alas not enough information to do the project justice. In the search I came across the video posted here and so registered. My hope is that someone can either point me in the right direction or maybe even supply photos and specifications I'm chasing please. I've added a couple of the photos I have of my mum & dad on there wedding day with the 1933 Ford. Also I've added 2 photos of projects I've completed in the past 6 months to show you the sort of wooden toy/model I've done, Ford's of course. Thank you one and all in advanced for any and all assistance is offered. Cheers form the Great Southern Land, YES, On Top Downunder is my home, crowie |

Re: Rhapsody in Steel
Hi there, the photos of your parents 33 Ford show an Australian built (Geelong, Victoria ) four door sedan which was considerably different in body construction and appearance than the north American model. There was much wood in the body frame and the floor whereas the USA car was virtually all steel construction like a modern car. So you need pics or drawings of an Australian car to base your model on. Plenty of photos in Australian hot rod magazines or find a car locally where you live which is where ? That car has a side mounted spare wheel and a folded down rear luggage rack which is a slight departure from normal which was a rear mounted spare. Regards, Kevin.
