Neat Original 32 Body Pics

Here is picture of a RACK OF 32 Bodies taken in the Ford Assembly plant in 1932 .... ..Thanks Edsel !!!

 

looks like heaven to me!!!

 

That's cool. boy how much money you could make of those parts!

 

Actually, they are racks of rear body sections. Can you imagine how many bucks are on those racks??

 

Only sedans and 5 windows, pffffffffft, those are a dime a dozen

 

Check out the leaded seams on the Tudors

 

OK, I'll take 2 dozen. Thanks for posting, NitroFC.

 

How cool is that, how would you like to stumble onto an old whse and find that rack of stuff.

Haha great old pics, heres a couple more you might like if you're into that type of thing

 

That is one of the most cool pictures I have ever seen !, Where did you find it ,... and do you have any more ?

What do you suppose made them change perfection...?

Those would be the hottest selling cars in the world if that was today...
We don't need no stinkin' crumple zones...

I am thinking with ford's finacial woes....they wish they had kept some of them bodies to see now! Cool pics.

 

wow. someone please invent a time machine.

 

Who gives a crap about Model As?

 

I work for Ford in the Illustration Department, we used to be next to World Headquarters and Ford has a whole historical archives department there. About 10 years ago I had a chance to look through a bunch of old photos housed there when we were moving buildings (we had to archive some old illustrations, stuff like GT40 cutaways) they have some pretty cool stuff in there, I no longer have the contact information but the public can request historical photos, I think they are part of FCN (Ford Communication Network) now.

 

That photo and a couple of others were printed in the magazine I received a couple of weeks ago for the Hot Rod and Restoration Trade Show. I don't have a scanner, so I can't post them. But if someone else has the mag maybe they can do it. Very cool photos.

 

My pants are tighter now.

 

I know I know. If any 32 purists have any crappy model a's they wanna dump, I'll take them all

 

Cool ass pictures. One thing I find interesting is how "bright" it is in that plant, compared to some of the other assembly line pix I've seen. I wonder if that's the Rouge... it didn't look that nice when I used to work down there.

I like the differences between the way the origional coupes were stamped compared to the 75 years later pics.the advances in manufacturing making the larger one piece pannels possibly

 

A book I just got on the Rouge plant had a pic of a roomful of flatheads, 32 style.

 

E-Bay them....

Seriously tho,,,awesome pics.
