Big day today
Don't forget today is Ford's 117th. anniversary of the start of production of the Model T Ford. Some of us from our local club will be taking our cars to the local Serving Our Seniors a.k.a. SOS, senior center for a little "show and tell" event and give rides to anyone interested or able to hop up into the cars. It'll be fun as always.

Re: Big day today
It's interesting that Henry was bragging that it was not an 'assembled' car.

Re: Big day today
It is interesting to note that statement, which was fact, not a boast. Although Ford jobbed out the manufacture of components, the Model T was Ford’s concept and unlike any other. To make the distinction, there were not a few companies in that era, eager to get into the automotive trade, whose machines were not conceptualized nor engineered as a whole - frames from one supplier, transmissions from another, axles from a third, engines from yet another.
