I'm a ToolMaker by trade, from Birmingham England. If fastinates me to watch this video, the way they make the cranks and the grinder that does all the journals in one hit is a stunningly clever piece of not only engineering but mass production. I take my hat off to Ford and their engineers. The Doco on the development of the flathead v8 is also worth watching as it cronicles how Henry Ford side stepped the Engineers who were adamant that a single v8 block could not be done in a way as to mass produce it. Ford setup a makeshift design studio in his mates workshop ( None other than Thomas Edison ), and they came up with a block that could be mass produced, and the flathead v8 was born, the rest is history as they say.

Nice video 📹 and workmanship

Nice rebuild and black top license

Not sure if it's Chevy or Ford

The only two cars in that county at the time managed to get into an accident with each other....

I didn't finish watching this stupid video. What a waste of time.

I remember watching about this and a wreck is what caused Henry to use the safety glass, but i may not be completely correct

Before seatbelts that mattered even more.

Nice fast

thank you

This is a fascinating video clip on how wire wheels were made! In the early 1920s wire wheels were a rare feature only found on very expensive custom cars. Spoke wheels made with hickory wood were phased out in the late 1920s. Steel wheels without spokes became mainstream later in the mid-1930s and were cheaper to produce.

ONLY 4 minutes !?!

Not all these cars were Fords.

Another great video. In 1984, I worked for a glass and upholstery shop. The original owner came by. He was in his mid-80s. He said he moved to town in the early 20s. Every car in town had at least one broken window, as there were all single pane plate glass. He charged $2.00 to replace a window, the bulk glass brought in by rail. I can't imagine driving on rough dirt roads with plate glass.

Slant windshield was/is beautiful! Great video! Thank you!

Tons more pieces of steel to be welded than on my Deluxe Fordor. Always love the music on these video's

Bonsoir, chouette vidéo 👍merci . Un peu d'humour, il faut en connaitre un rayon pour travailler à ce poste d'usine 😂 Bonne soirée 😊

Muy bueno!!

Great video! I'm sure that the Model A wheels were made the same way.

O famoso Henri Ford, ficou na história mundial

Looks like 'someone' took a '31 Slant windshield Fordor and custom built it as a pickup from the rear of the front doors. It appears to be about the same longer body length. I no longer have my Slant Ford car's body, but there were some kinda unique features though it did fit on a standard 'A' chassis as I now have a roadster body on the frame by only changing thewood body to frame mounts

I have a 160A slant window.

Very interesting ; never seen photos of the proto Victoria & Deluxe Slant Delivery before. This channel is outstanding regarding Model A research on lesser known facts. The factory Deluxe pick up may have existed in much larger numbers in the USSR! There are photos/films of many examples in Moscow parades ,all display the Gaz AA truck type ;shell & less brightware indicating Gaz production rather than the US Deluxe models. Cheers

Great video very interesting.

GM was doing the same thing with its' "model names" at that time. Ads would only call it "Chevrolet" or "The New Chevrolet", the only place on the car itself a model name would appear would be on the firewall plate, and it'd be in the parts and service books. It wasn't a part of a car's marketing identity, just a way to disambiguate from earlier and later models in the shop. That started to change when Chevy went to the Standard and Master models and Ford started putting more differences than just trim to the Standard and DeLuxe lines in the mid '30s but it wouldn't be until the '80s that the full-size cars fully stopped using a different model name for each trim level.

FWIU the Deluxe Pickup mostly went to GE appliance dealers anyway even though it was listed as a standard model and offered to the general public.

Slant windshield!?! That'll lead to marijuana cigarettes, and premarital sex!

This phenomenon of celebs wanting to be seen in and around a "regular" car has repeated itself a few times, probably most recently with the 2nd and 3rd gen Prius. Automakers sponsoring them is another thing entirely of course, as is stars having such a car to drive when they *don't* want to be seen or hanging on to one for sentimental reasons toward that particular car (like Christian Bale's Toyota pickup).

The reasoning for the design change makes sense. Thanks.

Believe it or not, I have seen brand new cars and trucks scrapped after being damaged in transit. There was once over a dozen GM trucks in Oshawa assembly that got run over by rail cars in the marshalling area! Holy shit. The costs get passed on to consumers as part of doing business

I say bring these cars back 😮

This was so subtle, wonder if it was really effective.

Libby OWENS Ford still making glass!!

Great video! Keep it up!

YUP!!!!! Put a Visor on the 32 Ford... Looks Kookie without it!!!! Thats why the Model A Reigns Supreme.... It will always be Right!!! Ya cant fix Perfect!🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🛠️🛠️🛠️🔧🛠️🔧

My Dad and I restored an early Slant windshield town sedan back in the 1980's. I love the styling! It drove well, I wasn't aware of the night driving issues, we rarely drove it after dark. Thanks for the video!!

I love my slant windshield Townsedans and I drive my non slant windshield Townsedans also. There is just something different about those late '31, indented firewall cars.

Slant windshield is more attractive than the vertical version. It reflects Edsel Ford's styling influence. He liked the more elegant appearing European cars, but had a hard time getting his ideas past the increasingly hidebound Henry.

Muy bueno! Saludos desde Argentina

Driving my ‘30 roadster my passenger complained about the glare from the oncoming cars. I said, “Do what I do, it works perfectly. Just close your eyes.”

I don't like the slants as the cars header looks like it's missing the visor with the way the top edge still has a lip tor the visor. If it was smoothed and rounded, I'm sure it would have looked much better and intentional instead of the car missing a part. If you have a straight windshield like I do, just open the windshield out a tiny bit and the light bouncing problem is solved.

I like my slant windshield

Very nice

I prefer a visored car. Don't get me wrong I like a slant windshield and wouldn't kick one out of the garage but if I was to ever go with a visorless style car it would probably be a 32 with a v8 and 3 windows but since I'm too cheap for that I will stick to Model A's.

Very educational! I'm learning more from you everyday! The Town Car Sedan Delivery; Never heard of this. How many of these were made, it got to be rare. Thank you.
