Re: So what's so special about today?
Was just thinking, quick grab 400 bucks and a time machine and knock on the dealer's door.
Order a new model A, and get change. Has USA money changed much since 1776 or whenever the dollar was invented? If we took 400 bucks back in time in OZ, they would baulk at the plastic notes with holograms we have now. |

Re: So what's so special about today?
I am not trying to burst anyone's bubble or start a heated discussion. But the information I have states the Model A went on sale December 2, 1927. Manufacturing of the Model A started on October 20, 1927.
Which sale date is it for sure (2nd or 3rd, I am voting for 2nd)?

Re: So what's so special about today?
Do I remember reading that 10% of the entire US population saw the New "A" during the run up to production and release?

Re: So what's so special about today?
Thanks Brent, in case you missed the post where we fooled around with ani gifs, here is a couple I knocked up....
And here is my first effort at the engine running with 1 fan blade. It ain't the ani gif that is a problem, they are easy, but getting it to the small size allowed and still be able to view it is tricky. Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 160 by 160 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller). |

Re: So what's so special about today?
gweilbaker - I apologize for not noticing the date when your post was written (Dec 2nd); only looking at the date I was reading it.
But, I am glad you made my date information correct. (note - I haven't been on Fordbarn the last several days; was out deer hunting.) Thanks,

It is also the day we declared war on Japan in 1941.
