Ford Educational Weekly Films

In a prior post(click here) we covered the history of the Ford Motion Picture Studios. The following two films are examples of the films produced by Ford.

Film #1 is showing how the Model T Ford front axle is built and assembled to the frame.


This film shows logging operations on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Ford owned vast amounts of property in the UP and the wood harvested from these lands went into many Model T's, Model A's and other Fords and Lincolns. 

Help the Model T Win Car of the Month on Eastwood's website!

Eastwood Car of the Month link
Jim Patrick over on the Model T Ford Club of America Forum has submitted his 1926 Model T to the Eastwood.com Car of the Month contest.  When you click on the "car of the month" link above, give his car the thumbs up by clicking the green thumbs up button.

Let's support Jim and all the others who believe in the restoration of Model T Fords back to stock!

Naturally we here at Vintage Ford Facts voted for Jim, and we hope you do too!

Ford Motor Company Executives Showcase their Livestock

This is a rare color film of the "Lake Shore Country Fair" in 1944 or early 1945. I have not been able to find out where this Fair took place, but it is of interest that all the livestock on display was presented by Ford Motor Company Executives. Ray Rausch, Mead Bricker, Harry Bennett, Ray & Evangeline Dahlinger and others all exhibited animals.

Note Henry Ford is in a grey suit- As the years progressed, he wore nothing but grey suits!

1940 Ford Cartoon
