Ford car built by Henry's brother in Mexico

Post by sargentrs »

Saw this at the F100 Supernats. Just glanced at the flyer and now can't remember. Supposed to have been a model built by Henry's brother in Mexico. I've googled till I can't google no more and can't find any details now. Anybody refresh my memory? http://s750.photobucket.com/albums/xx14 ... 0_0561.jpg

Does come to mind for me. The one thing I will say from looking at your pictures was there are some sweet bumps there. I don't think NYS has that many all togther. For me everytime I come accross one is like meeting a twin brother seperated at birth 40 years ago

Someone was pulling your leg! That's an early Olds Starfire. 1961 is my guess.

How dare they! The flyer on the windshield was a long write up on the history. That's sacrilege! A GM masquerading at an all Ford show. That's like a sheep in wolf's clothing!

Henry died in 1947. Henry Ford's siblings were Margaret Ford (1867–1938); Jane Ford (c. 1868–1945); William Ford (1871–1917) and Robert Ford (1873–1934).

That car was obviously built in the 1960's.
