If Henry Ford was alive today, what would do you think he would say looking at all of the T's still alive.

"That was some damn vision I had ?"

"Dang it. They were designed to wear out quickly so people would buy new Fords."

"Waterpump????------It don't need no stinkin' waterpump..............." Henry Ford That's my $.02 I think it would put a big smile on his face.. Like it does to so many people I see out puttin' around......Carl

"thank you to all you people who have maintained and restored my unique contribution to the automotive world".

"See, I should have continued development of the planetary transmission, rather than that awful sliding gear thing Edsel talked me into. Ford would have been a giant leap ahead with automatics."

These new cars are to complex and don't last. Who could work on them?

Hindsight is 20 20 but i wished i would have had the powerhouse built on higher ground!! Bud. PS,He might also say History is bunk espc if fools have books writen to try and put their slant on things!!!! Still burning corn and mailing the cobs-Bud.

Henry would say "These are some smart guys. They know a good car when they see one."

I've often wondered this myself. Say if you had a Delorean Time machine and brought Ford from the 1920s to Modern Times.

As for his comment about Model T's-
"Just goes to show you this was the best car ever made. I don't see any Chevrolets or Durants around
(snicker snicker), but you boys are doing the right thing by owning a Model T."

Take it a step further and here's what he'd likely say on other things.

"What in hell are all those jelly bean shaped cars doing with my name on the front of them?"

"The government telling me how to build cars? What a bunch of ear piddlers"

"I'll send some of Harry Bennett's men to the border and they'll have this immigration thing fixed in no time."

"All these overhead cam motors in these new cars. I bet C. H. Wills had something to do with that."

"The government can take the TARP deal and go to hell far as I'm concerned. I bet the DuPonts are involved with this deal too."

"I guess I could start the Dearborn Independent up again and warn this new generation about the Jews."

*These are all tongue in cheek, not meant to offend anyone!

Gas is HOW MUCH???????????????????????
President WHO??????????
You got to be kidding!

I think Henry would be amazed at how much ground farmers can cover in a day and at the ease with which it's done! On the other hand when he saw the cost of farming?? Bud.

What would he say? What a mess,send me back! send me back!

A computer to run the engine? Now, why didn't I think of that?

Yeahyeahyeah, the car looks great. Anyone seen Evangeline?

See Edsel?..........Told you so.

I'm having a hard time picking my favorite line out of these, but Bob & Charlie's rank right at the top of my list!

i wonder what he might think about how technology went from being a servant to improve peoples lives to being a master that people have to improve just to survive. Not sure if mass production was a mistake yet

In Henry's day there was pride in workmanship, in company policy and development.( money and profit was the prize ). Now the goal is money money money and there aint no prize at the end.
The world would stop without "inbuilt obsolesence" on almost every product manufactured. Unfortunately it's our planets natural resources being wasted that will stuff up our future generations quality of life.
Modern cars won't be around when my 87 yo T will still be going (If there's any gas left) in 2050.

I think he would say that peace ship was a waste of time and money because there will always be some fool eager to start a war! Bud.

Ah ha, Model T .....the fountain of youth....cause I am real old.

"Now where's this twin turbocharged EcoBoost V8 that I have been hearing so much about?"........."let's go racing boys!!!"

Ha!...... Clara always said we would outlast those rascals at Oldsmobile!!!

HAHAA! Now that is funny Robbie! LOL!

"Tell me how I could produce 15 million Model T's without a single recall prior to WWII, while these hacks running the industry today can't produce 10 thousand without damn near killing someone with fire hazards or stuck accelerators."

"Ethanol in gas? Alternative fuels? Cheap and durable alternatives to steel? Didn't I cover this 80 years ago?"

If he could come back today, maybe we could talk him into running for president in 2012. He might just win.

"How come there's so much asphalt?"

Waste waste waste!!!

Why is there so much waste?

Can't you guys figure how how to do someting without wasting so much stuff?

See that landfill.
There is millions of dollars of opportunity in there.
Your throwing my money away.
Do something about it!

Fred, you hit the nail on the head.
