Why is it that all photos that Ester Eddie and Swi66 come up as a red X????

 

The 1932 Ford was the long anticipated replacement for the Model A Ford. With the help of Edsel Ford’s keen eye for great automotive styling and the new V-8 engine, the 1932 Ford went on to become one of the most popular Ford models ever produced.

We have a very interesting post including a three page article found in the Automotive Industries, Nov. 5, 1932, as seen below telling all about the difficult job of casting the new block.

Also featured are original colored Ford illustrations and a very interesting film from the Benson Ford Research Center showing Henry Ford’s “Prosperity Drive” when the long anticipated new Ford was finally ready for the start of production. You will see the River Rouge Plant, new Fords being put to test, the assembly line and the full line-up of all the Fords offered in the landmark year of 1932.

You can see all of the 1932 Ford coverage here.

 

I asked about this car on the SDC Forum. This post came this morning. The guy who built this thing has a lot of imagination. I don't know how you envision something like this ahead of time, especially considering the places parts for this thing came from. Check out this link:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Said to be a '47 Jeep sales brochure, though I thought I'd read that Jeep didn't offer 4WD until a little later. Cool variety of Jeep truck styles! [/FONT]

Really? I see the photos .Is it still doing that?

 

No red x's here with either of you two...

 

Red X's for me on those too.

Love this thread, have for years.
Thanks to all the contributors. Maybe I'll get some in one day.

 

I don't know why some folks see red x's and some don't ?

I'm not sure what's going on in this picture either.

From the other side, it's probably a very nice sculpture of an angelic figure wearing a hooded cape. From this side, it's a giant woodie with the end pierced! Gary

 

It is Arthur Askey, a famous and well liked ( at the time! ) British comedian, who made his name during WW11 on radio and later television. Died in 1982.
