    @sabbiq

    No, but most of it was hand assembled, using jigs and tools to assist that.

    Producing shaped body panels, for instance, *at the required rate*, would take the population of China, without presses, tools, &c.

    The guys finishing the wooden spokes are just cleaning the burrs off the assembly, prior to paiting. A machine tool (spindle moulder) has made the spokes.

    Production on this scale precludes ‘hand work’.

    BIG difference between ‘hand work’, and ‘hand assembled’.

    by the way henry ford never said “you can have any colour as long as it’s black”

    You could get other colours besides “black”. It just took longer to get one custom made in “red” for example. The majority were produced in black because that paint colour dried quicker than any other paint formulation and therefore, the entire process was sped up. Rather than waiting, most folks just bought a black one.

    Everyone credits Ford to making the assembly line, but it was actually Oldsmobile that had the first in 1903 when they built their “Curved Dash” Olds.

    @CarDataVideo Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it. Amazed to see how the suspension and suspension height were so effective at navigating challenging terrain.

    A friend of my parents restored T’s and A’s and a Pierce Arrow during my growing up years in the fifties and sixties. The biggest thrill was riding in the rumble seat!

    Sort of interested but what I would like to see and hear about are the tail fins that Chrysler Corp. started in 1956……some tiny ones in 1954. That 54 Plymouth 2 door hardtop, for example, had a roof painted in white, body in coral, white slash on the front door. It also had wire wheels, white wall tires, fender skirts and everything was capped off with a beautiful continental kit. Today’s automobile are truly boring. Keith

    As Jerry Reed said, “Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done?!” Great video. I love my 1989 Ford Bronco II. It’s really an updated version of the Model T, and will go practically anywhere over practically any terrain. Keep up the great work, Ford Motor Co.!
