The cars being brought in are pretty new actually considering it is 1928.

Amazing video thank you for making this. Love how they cut the glass by hand. Lot of work to make glass.

No hands in pockets at Ford. They would be sewn up.

Momentification ? 00:15

It was Ford wiere and a skate bord bearing NOW ! ITS COBALT AND ACID W/ COAL AND NATURAL GAS TO MAKE AN ELECTRIC MOTOR VEHICLE WITH BATTERIES 😢

Its no wonder we had to get OSHA ! danger was an every day event .

No OSHA back then... God help them as far as safety.

Great video!

Amazing wish had set the dies

Now i know why the city of rouge south of Detroit is called rouge.

Filmed without the use of a single camera drone . . .

Having been a Model A enthusiast for many years, I think it's hilarious when I come across sellers stating "matching numbers car". I ask them did they find the number on the frame. They give me a dumb look and say the numbers match the title. Doesn't mean anything other than it could have been re-registered with a new title and number which isn't that hard to do.

Thank you for posting. Really interesting.👍

Wow

Thanks for bringning this to us!

Part of the reason that the cord of the wing is so thick is for the aircraft to have a real low stall speed ( the speed where the aircraft drops out of the sky. The reason is that Horsepower was low for the size of aircraft and the weight that it could carry. So the stall speed is probably 30 or 35 mph and the cruise speed is probably 90 mph. But with such a thick wing, it's easy to fly.

Besides an owners manual, i also have a seat out of the first California flight, and my grandfather Russell William Bill Hull also gave one of the seats to his older brother Cliff Hull in Port Huron, Michigan. When i last saw, it was in better shape than mine. I have a picture of my mom sitting in the chair when she was three in about 1936.

I believe that my grandfather worked there in 1923 as an assistant superintendent. I have an owners manual for one. And some pictures of one with pontoons and with my grandfather being lowered into the Great Lake.

Ford was excellence. I was born 1966. I am 4th generation factory worker in Waterbury CT. My GreatGrandfather was a Caster at Chase. They were the only ones that worked 5 days a week because they needed an extra day to recover to work again 5he next week. The standard then in the late 1800’s was 6 days a week for still what was good strong hard labor. He got blackballed for a while for trying to unionize the shop, but they did hire him back because they needed him. By the time I came around, to the credit of GreatGrandpa’s attempts and Ford’s influence back then along with Union standards that put laws in place, it is a safer USA. (That should not be competing with export countries with lesser standards) There are some unfair comments listed here to this video. Certainly time is money. Always safer to stay home and do nothing, but than can kill you too. Certainly there are some companies and some foreman that are idiots and should not be worked for (so don’t) Humans are awesome creatures but some have to be told to get the safety glasses out of their pocket. I get a kick out of the safety officers not wearing eye protection. Sadly we have engineers on jobs that passed safety courses yet really do not understand what any of it is on the job.

I remember in the 60's along the DT&I railroad tracks (formerly Ford) in Northern Allen Park just south of Dearborn Rouge Plant there were still the pens for sand for the Glass Plant. Pure White Sand.

That is bad ass

Ford didn't screw around. When he needed rubber for the tires he built a rubber plantation in Brazil. He didn't like relying on suppliers for his raw materials.

The fumes in that casting plant must have taken a heavy toll.

Always with the music....

wow (spelled W.O.W.) "Walking the glass". That's a new one for me. SpaceX (formally Twitter) has nothing on these guys. Very COoL. Clearly it must be considered a "crime against humanity" to bReAk one of these? R.E.S.P.E.C.T p.s. Xlint [voice over]. You RoCk.

It’s funny, but Ford dealers in Pennsylvania haven’t changed much since this filming. Most are filthy and disgusting and give poor service.

Awesome video!!

That gantry camera giving the continuous view from the top was so cool on terms of what it showed.

We used to do that. Now its done in China and India for low wages. So stockholders can live on the coast and do nothing.

So different than today. True, skilled craftsmen who don't rely upon computerized everything. But I do think that even then the painters should have been wearing respirators or masks. I didn't have time to watch the whole video so maybe some of them were wearing something.....

Those workers were making $5 a day in those times and that was real good money.

Something I didn’t know…thanks

There was a pilot (pilots?} that used a tri-motor in his aerobatic act and performed at airshows in the 30's or 40's. I got to fly in a tri-motor twice. Once in 1965, an AA restored ship and around 1980 in the one EAA has (or had)..do they still??

Fuck I love working in factories

I love the old American cars… I’ve been driving a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for 53 years and it’s still my favorite!! Started with 11,000 miles and now have 688,000. 3 motors and 2 transmissions later. I recently retired it from daily driver service when my doctor recommended that I was too old for such a car as a daily driver. I’m 72 and still work. My car and I have been through a lot together… hopefully God will permit me some more time with it!! The Old Army Scout…

Let’s not forget Clyde Barrow, of Bonnie and Clyde fame, who wrote a letter to Ford praising the virtues of the Model A with the new V-8. Got away with a lot of loot driving the Ford.

Thank you to all the people in this video that are no longer alive that made my '30 Model A.

I was fortunate enough to go up in one in March,2018 in North Little Rock, Ar. Tail no. NCB407. This plane was used in the filming of "Dillinger" with Johnny Depp. Best 75 bucks I've ever spent!

Walter is really good at finger pointing. Obviously, while it's the right thing to do, all I see in the body language is some guy passing the buck. The Great Depression is coming up, so no one is going to move on to another job if they can help it. But given a choice, I'd jump ship. It's like the movie Casablanca, Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds? Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir. Renault: Oh, thank you very much. His arm movements are those of a bully, even though he owns the business. He takes no accountability. He's low life. Goes to an independent. Guy extends his hand. Walter shakes it, looks around and says "We ought to destroy him".

Henry was one mean ‘ole SOB. Blame anyone but himself. Sounds like a weird one too. 😂

Regardless of any naysaying, that loop was impressive.

The kid at 11:30 has a Moe Howard bowl cut.

Muy bueno!

That was a problem in my time, which was customers coming in and saying "I need this done." A smart mechanic or service writer will always ask "what if what you want done doesn't solve the problem?"

Filmed at Paoli Ford in Paoli, PA. The building still stands, but it was heavily remodeled in 2016 and no longer retains that beautiful old look (Google Street view pre '16 will give you a look at the building in color, so you can get a tiny insight to Walter and Bill's view of the world as it was through their eyes). There's a train station within walking distance of the dealership(that was there in 1928), so perhaps that was the stand in for the fictional, "Spring Haven".

That loop so close to the ground at 9:15 was an exceedingly dangerous thing to do. I suspect you'd lose your license for doing that today.

Speedo going to 70! That was a stretch.

Poor guy at 16:30 went in with an injured left hand but they amputated his right hand instead.

I wonder how long the sprayer lasted without a mask.

And so was born the "social media version 1.0"....
