Actually his birthday isn't until the 30th. That being said I still drank a few beers with some old Ford friends today as a token of our appreciation.

What was Henry's adult beverage of choice?

Great pics, btw, Warwick!

HF did not partake of "adult beverages" at all.

Well in that case, I'll have one for the ol' party pooper.

There's evidence he enjoyed wine, but no liquor or beer.

He may have done this to please Clara Ford, who enjoyed beer, wine and the occasional mixed drink.

Occassional mixed drink? Ah-hah! A long island Ice-tea it is!

Henry would be proud to acknowledge that July 30 is the 93rd birthday of the motor in my T.
It was cast on July 28 but according to the motor number it was born on the 30th.

Random shot!

Henry Ford with Thomas Edison in 1929.

Hey Luke, I know it will be difficult to believe, but what you have there is an unscrupulously doctored shot of the original which I am posting here. It was I and not Mr. Edison present when this photo was taken. I've been trying to correct this obvious Wikipedia misinformation for years.

My reverse drum on my '16 was defective from manufacture. Thanks Henry! When do I get a new one? BTW happy B'day, - John

Danial, you're right. Something was doctored. It's gotta be tough when you realize Tom Edison took the better lookin' picture. Just kidding. You're obviously an intelligent handsome young man.

I think I just threw up in my mouth just a little bit.

The more I look at this pic of Edison, the more his head looks like the shape of a light bulb?

The inspiration?

I'm sorry Danial. I don't know you from Adam but I couldn't resist. You really didn't deserve it.
