The Ford Aeroplane.
Just got this as an e-mail.
Interesting!
(Have the sound on.)
The Ford Airplane.
The footage of this old film is truly amazing, and you have to give the Ford Motor Co. a lot of credit for building these planes, and the Pilots that flew them were gutsy guys to fly them for the first time. A real piece of history. This was 6 months BEFORE Pearl Harbour!
Henry Ford was determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had done with cars, so he built the WillowRun assembly plant in Michigan and proved it. It was the world's largest building under one roof at the time. This film will absolutely blow you away, one B-24 every 55 minutes and Ford had their own pilots to test them.
ADOLF HITLER HAD NO IDEA THE U.S. WAS CAPABLE OF THIS KIND OF MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE.

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.
'47 Ford sedan. 350 -- 350, Jaguar irs + ifs.
'49 Morris Minor. Datsun 1500cc, 5sp manual, Marina front axle, Nissan rear axle.
'51 Ford school bus. Chev 400 ci Vortec 5 sp manual + Gearvendors 2sp, 2000 Chev lwb dually chassis and axles.
'64 A.C. Cobra replica. Ford 429, C6 auto, Torana ifs, Jaguar irs.
Could it be a 10114182? If so, it is a Gen V 454, 4 bolt 1991 (or later). Hope that helps..
