Art & Inspiration A picture is worth a thousand words -

The quote has been slightly tweaked over the years but we all get the gist.

We recently attended the '54 Ford Club of America convention in Memphis, Tennessee and the host hotel was the Marriott and the staff wanting to welcome our club printed several posters throughout the lobby and near the elevators.

I give them credit on their part for putting forth the effort to welcome us but with just a little more research on their part the posters might have offered a accurate representation. HRP

 

So which one is wrong?

 

I'm surprised they actually used a Ford.

 

Which what is wrong? HRP

 

Stultifying, but sadly not unexpected in this day and age.

 

Whats ya *****ing about,hay it could of showed a Chevy LOL or VW,wow they got close if you look at it that way !!!

 

They got the Brand and the Decade right, that's the best you are going to get, LOL.

 

Thats funny. But typical.

 

BWWAAAHAAA! That's some funny stuff!

 

OOPS!

 

What I say, what in tarnation were they thinking (intelligence that is, using their noggins)

Somehow they used a little known photo of a Ford concept car that was kept under wraps until they were about to launch that model.

 

Well, they actually missed by 4 years? Heck and I'm a Chevy guy!

 

Actually 5 years.

 

Maybe that's a customized 54 with a whole bunch of 59 parts Don't feel too bad, I had a guy ask me who customized my 55 Buick one time. When I ask him what the hell he was talking about he said he saw the "Special" name on the side so he just knew the car was a wild custom, he read a lot of hot rod magazines. I just told him the car was done at one of the big outfits in Michigan, General Motors!

 

Understandable, they ***umed this was a club with 54 members who owned Fords. What was ya expectin'?

 

I have NO problem with the picture...

 

Rare photo of a factory "dream car"! How was the show?

 

I think it’s great that the staff took the time to do that. If they are not car people then the mistake is understandable, I don’t think it means they weren’t thinking or such. Sometimes an Internet search isn’t accurate and how would they know the difference.

Good show, back when Tom Hoskins started the club in 1986 he decided to have a biennial convention and move them around the country, in 2014 he p***ed the presidential torch to Don Allen and he continues the tradition. HRP

 

...they got the 59 Ford convention posters mixed up with the 54 posters...

 

Lucky the 59'ers didnt show up, then it would've been rumble time..

9's and 4's can look alike when written down. i wonder if that was the issue?

 

I bet most people didn't notice the poster was wrong.

 

John, funny you should mention that, I missed it when I first entered the lobby and several others never noticed it until the second day. HRP

 

See I told you I was a Chevy guy. I figured the first year for the dual headlights would be 58?

 

Google 1954 Ford and see if that '59 photo turns up. Bob

 

I think DDDenny is just pulling both your legs
