The Deuce is turning in his grave.
According to the book entitled “The Fords”, a biography about the Ford family, the full-size clay model of the 1949 Ford was the last prototype Henry and Clara saw before Henry passed away.
According to the book, Clara approached the clay mock-up and, not knowing that it was not an actual car, attempted to open the door of the model.
Before anyone could stop her, she yanked the aluminum foil covered door handle completely off the car.
They say that “it all started one moring in
1946 . . . . .” yet, at one minute into the
video, they show what appears to be a
1948 Ford sedan coming up a driveway.
WTF?
