The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I came across this item:

URL: http://www.earlyfordv8clubga.org/henryhistory.html

scroll down to the last page for THE FORD FAN the newsletter of the San Diego chapter of the EARLY FORD V8 CLUB

under the entry 1944, it reads: The 30 millionth ford produced. 1/3 of all vehicles ever produced in America were made by Ford Motor Co.

Would anyone know what vehicle that might be or is there any way of finding out?

scrolling down a bit further on that page it shows what Ford produced for the WWII effort.

Good Afternoon, Ken---

Of course, you are correct! And I do owe you an apology. I have simply got to stop buying my eyeglasses at 7-11!

I read your email this morning (after having only ONE cup of coffee, which may have also been my problem). And I completely misread your "27,000,000..." entry and misinterpreted it, as I thought that you were referring to my "28th Million" email entry!!! WRONG!

You are totally correct about "all good info". Frankly, I did not know anything about the Dartmouth Green 1939 Tudor as being the 27th Million Ford. Interesting. And lastly, I agree with you that Mike can now fill in any additional information gaps that Ford Modeler may have.

No harm done. All's well that ends well.

Have a good week.

Tom

Hi Tom,
Unless I missed something, I don't think you and I are in any disagreement.
Your information was in reference to the 194o, 28,000,000 car.
I only referenced 1939, the 27,000,000 car.
All good info...
Ken

I checked Ebay - searched under "1940 Ford pictures" There is a picture of the 28th Million Ford for sale for $15.95. And yes, it does show it to be a 1940 model.

Ebay Item # 152534325312.

The 27,000,000 Ford was a 1939 Deluxe. It was a Dartmouth green Tudor. It was displayed at the Golden Gate Exposition for a short time before it went on a 10,000 mile publicity tour for the New York World's Fair. The interior was probably a striped mohair, taupe in color. The dash and window moldings were wood grained with a mahogany color (not sure of the color) but Kube will probably chime in with the correct color plus other details.
Information comes from the EFV8Club album. You can purchase one from the club.

Good Evening---

The 28th million Ford produced was a 1940 Deluxe 4 door Sedan. The late Lorin Sorenson produced some very informative VHS/DVDs about Early Ford V8s, including "It's Ford for "40". There is a picture of the 28th million Ford on both the VHS and the DVD. Unfortunately, it is a single, black and white photo of the car's exterior, and I would guess the exterior color to be Folk Stone Gray. I have no info about interior color - possibly a regular factory interior installation.

I don't see that Lorin's DVD series is still available for sale. I couldn't find it on the Online Store or on Ebay. 51 Woodie gave you a good lead with the Benson Ford Research Center website. I would try that next.

Good Luck.

Tom

I am hoping someone in your club might have the answers to my questions. I would like to build small scale model cars for the Ford milestone vehicles. what information I have collected is:
United States production milestones:
1 millionth - 1915 model t runabout [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]
5 millionth - 1921 model t coupe [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]
10 millionth - 1924 model t touring [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]
15 millionth - 1927 model t touring [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]
20 millionth - 1931 ford model a town sedan [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]
25 millionth - 1937 ford deluxe humpback sedan - I believe the exterior is white, I do not know the color of the interior. I also do not know the color of the milestone writing on the car's sides.
30 millionth - [NO INFORMATION] the 28 millionth ford was built on 4/8/1940 and the 31 millionth was built on 5/3/1945, which I imagine the 30 millionth was perhaps a wwII jeep or truck
35 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]
40 millionth - 1953 mercury monerey convertible. i have seen a color photograph of this car, but I do not have the date it was built.
45 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]
50 millionth - 1959 ford galaxie town sedan [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]
75 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]
100 millionth - 1978 ford fairmont futura 2-door [I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE I NEED]

World-wide production numbers
100 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]
200 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]
300 millionth - [NO INFORMATION] - i have information on a 2004 mustang convertible built on 11/28/2003, but i believe this to be US production totals and not Ford world-wide production.
400 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]
500 millionth - [NO INFORMATION]

To make the model car, I would need to know the exterior color and the interior color with (make/model & body style). It would be nice to know the date it was produced as I would like to display the model with this information. Any photos would be wonderful.
