20 Millionth Ford Video

[ltdann]

I was snooping around in the Nebraska state archives and found this cool video of the 20 millionth Ford, a Model A of course. We've probably all seen photos of this car, but around the 11:05 mark, you can see that the top of the car is adorned with graphics, something probably not known. Pretty cool.

Very impressive ltdann.....think your truck might have been in the crowd !

Seems not to 'mess' with 'Chief Left Hand Bull' as he practiced some powerful medicine. As asked for, the 20Millionth is still with us !

I wonder if the graphics are repeated on the roof of the car now as they were back in the day

Hard to see in this image but, yes, they were replicated.

Hard to believe this is authentic. I don’t remember a Ford photograph without suit and tie and fedoras. Wayne

This was after a complete restoration in modern times. It is not from the day it was originally produced.

I recently purchased some old editions of The Restorer and Volume 18 No, 5 from 1974 shows a nice article of the 20 Millionth going thru San Francisco suburbs. There is the neat cover image of a special plaque given to Henry Ford. Is it in the Ford Museum today ???
