41chevy Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 One of the dozens of Village Industries that Henry Ford established from the 1920s into the 1940s – small-scale factories situated in small towns in Michigan, Ohio, New York, Mississippi – all but one was designed to allow farmers to remain on the farm (rather than relocate to a city) and still generate some additional income in their off seasons by turning out components for Ford. This one was for returning Veterans. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/02/24/fords-veterans-only-factory-slated-for-restoration/?refer=news http://www.motorcities.org/Story/Field+and+Factory+++Fords+Village+Industries-155.html 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48887-ford%E2%80%99s-veterans-only-factory-slated-for-restoration/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtymilkman Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I gotta disagree on Henry Ford being a good guy. He knew publicity could make him money. He also knew those farmers would all buy a new ford and their families would buy a new ford. He even decided what color you were going to get. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48887-ford%E2%80%99s-veterans-only-factory-slated-for-restoration/#findComment-362561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamsterGrrrl Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The F150 and any other modern pickup boxes do fine if you don't throw concrete blocks and near 30 pound "toolbox"s at 'em. And if you insist, you can still have a V8 in a new F150. But if you want pushrods, you'll have to buy a Chevy...

Different people, different times but much of what happened was before the cry for lebensraum / living space. Both Ford , Lindbergh and FDR were anti semitic. Norm for the age they were brought up in. Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow, daughter of U.S. ambassador Dwight Morrow, moved to Europe. During the mid-1930s, Lindbergh became familiar with German advances in aviation and warned his U.S. counterparts of Germany's growing air superiority. But Lindbergh also became enamored of much of the German national "revitalization" he encountered, and allowed himself to be decorated by Hitler's government in 1936. When, in 1941, President Roosevelt denounced Lindbergh publicly, the aviator resigned from the Air Corps Reserve. He eventually contributed to the war effort, though, flying 50 combat missions over the Pacific. His participation in the war, along with his promotion to brigadier general of the Air Force Reserve in 1954 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower earned him the rank of Brigadier General in the U.S.A.F.
