This silent era film features period era piano music for a truly enjoyable experience.
The Model T is what helped Henry Ford put the world on wheels. Affectionally referred to as the "Tin Lizzy" or Henry's Lady, 15 million cars were manufactured from 1914, to 1927. Starting at Ford's Piquette Plant, and eventually moving to The River Rouge plant in Detroit, this film was produced in 1927.

Great film. The piano was truly a gift in itself.

Henry Ford was a great man. We need men like him now more than ever.

Resourceful and useing quality materials for long lasting results 👌

I like how the film makers used wool upholstery with stitched lettering for the title cards. 🎥
-
The hemp fiber car bodies were criminally underrated
-
Wool is great for a static shock when grabbing the door

Assembly line work would have been too tough for me. The pace and monotony would have driven me insane. I'm glad the Army and Construction fields were there for me. At least I got to be outside most of the time.

Congratulations on the subscribers!!!!

Where were the Ford fabric plants located, and did Ford own them.
-
My grandfather run sheep on our family farm and sold his wool.

Amazing how much was done in-house. How many car manufacturers make their own upholstery today? Ford had to buy and make many of the machines in the film. It was true manufacturing: making things. It is like the videos of the how they made the wooden wheels. Today, vehicles are assembled, and much of the manufacturing (besides the metal stamping and welding of bodies) is done by suppliers. Too bad the film to video transfer has framing issues.

So, that sheep farmer made enough money to buy one of Henry's car.
-
Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Nope! They done took it!
-
I doubt they tested every seat in such a detailed manner... Not when they were selling the whole care for 100 bucks, which is still only 2000 dollars in today's money
-
Not a nice man but could see the future of the car and manufacturing how to do it and make money
-
Wow, what a tedious process. I compliment the engineers and designers for their ingenuity and problem solving I wonder if wool is still manufactured this way or how has the industry changed?
