Cool.......I'd like to pretend that one of those 46 Ford's rolling off the line is mine!!!! I've wanted to know the cars history since I bought it.......where it was sold when new......but those records are all gone due to a fire at Ford in the 50's

 

Also cool in that my youngest son is starting work at a auto plant soon.....but methods are a bit different today. To get hired he had to work on a mock assembly line...very different from a 46 line!

Great piece of American automotive history. Very few of us have any understanding of what was involved returning to "normal" after a world war. Let's hope we never have to experience that again. I watched this twice simply to take in all the various vehicles shown. Thanks for sharing this with us.
