Re: Building A Car In 87 Minutes
I bought an original (with the additional paper dust cover still on it) at a car show in 1975. I think I paid fifty cents for it. I believe it was the first use of color photos in Ford promotional material. Most of the photos feature '52 cars, etc., most likely to have the books printed and available at dealerships for the introduction of the ’53 Fords.

Re: Building A Car In 87 Minutes
Are you sure about the assembly time for the Fusion? Last summer I visited F150 production at the Rouge and a new F150 would come off the assembly line every minute. Very impressive plant tour for any Fordophile.
