Re: Ford Plant postcard
In the photo of a yard full of chassis the caption tells us of 1916 production. But the cars shown are earlier, not 1915 or 1916. What are they? 1913? 1914?

Re: Ford Plant postcard
I remember i saw a picture similar to this, but it was with all of the workers in front of the ford plant. It was used for many years and each time they changed supposed number of employees shown, but used the same picture.Steve Jelf wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2024 1:17 pmIn the photo of a yard full of chassis the caption tells us of 1916 production.

I want to say it was on the back cover of one of the T magazines?
They probably did something similar with the chassis, took an impressive picture to wow the public, and used it for more than one year.
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.

Re: Ford Plant postcard
The five dollar day with the three eight hour shifts was announced in January 1914. My guess is the photo would be mid year 1914 after the weather warmed.
