I put this on the Lincoln forum, but I think all Ford lovers will enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP8spBrMHl8

Thanks! That was fascinating. If those guys knew then what we know now, their garages would be full! Merry Christmas and to all "take somebody for a ride in your Ford next year" 42OINK

Thank you. That was the most enjoyable hour I've spent in the last 20 years. Alan

I agree, great video! I have to laugh at assembly line workers wearing white shirts, ties and even vests. My favorite was the guy at 42:50 installing the top material using a magnetic hammer and a retrieving the tacks from his mouth! With his white shirt and bow tie he reminded me of the waiter I had Saturday night. Anyone from O.S.H.A. that watched the video must be shocked at the way it was.

woodiewagon46, as I understand, upholsterers have used magnetic tack hammers like forever. I still remember my own mother using that method while reupholstering our own dining room chairs back in the late 40's. I think I still have her tack hammer, but haven't seen it in years. No, she wasn't a pro, she was however, skilled in trades normally reserved for men back in the day, and never hesitated in tackling something new. I think I inherited my skills from her, as my father wouldn't change a flat tire. Alan

The part that is hard getting used to is having a mouth full of tacks.

The Lincoln Ls, Ks, KAs, and KBs are formidable automobiles. There's good reason why a new '28 L cost as much as ten '28 Model As, much of why is revealed on the video. The attached photo is of my '31 K sport phaeton in its new home in the Lincoln Motor Car Foundation in Hickory Corners, MI. This message was edited by 3w2 on 12-23-24 @ 6:18 PM
