As I'm trying to find out how many Cars and Trucks have the Stamping of the "R" on the front cross braces of your Vehicles .

Thanks Let Me Know

Reggiedog
I own a April 1930 coupe stamped into the cross brace is the letter R with four numbers. I have been told by reputable people on this forum that it may have been stamped incorrectly such as DR meaning Denver or CR Chester Pennsylvania. In other words they may have not stamed the D or the C. Someone thought maybe it was R meaning the Richmond Ca. plant but this coupe has all the 30 features on it. Richond didn't open untill late thirty one. Yes you have an interesting theory going on here as i would like to learn more. Thanks , Dave.

Question Milwaukee Ford Plant ( Hospital )

HI:

I'm looking for any and all photo's inside or outside of the Old Ford Plant in Milwaukee, WI at 2185 N. Prospect Ave. Either when it was a Ford Plant or when it was a Hospital.

As I'm looking for any and all kinds of picture's that anyone has of anything that involves that Ford Plant in Milwaukee WI in the 20's and early 30's. As I know that the News Papers have a few pics in them when Ford was running the Plant.

And I'm also know and are looking for any and all information that anyone has on that plant like the day to day stuff or any kind of the production records on that plant.

Or anything of what that plant sent out to it's dealers back in the day of the Model T's and the Model A's as I think I already have some of it already but I'm not sure as to what I have for sure. That's why I would like to find some more of them as I only have bits and pieces of them as of now.

So if anyone has something that has something to do with the Milwaukee Wisconsin Ford Plant Please let me know as I will more then likely buy them from you. But they have to have something to do with Just the Ford Plant in Milwaukee, WI during the 20's and early 30's years MODEL A YEARS ONLY.

Thanks Reggiedog

Question Milwaukee ford plant

HI:

This might be something that is impossable to get but I just thought I would shoot it out there anyway. Does anyone have any kind of records or pictures inside or outside of the Ford Plant in Milwaukee, WI.

As I'm looking for anything and everything that has to do with that Plant in Milwaukee, WI. So I just thought that maybe someone had or has some of the old records or Pictures from that Plant. Inside there house in a closet or somewhere or in a old box in the basement.

As your Mom or Grand-mother used to work there and she had all of there records cause she was the office personal. Who knows that's what I'm looking for as I have some of it but I would like to get the rest of it.

And to get what ever that Plant sent out to there dealers as I have a few of them also but I would like to get the rest of them. Also but I need everyones help in this matter so I can get all of this stuff.

As I have part's of both of those papers but the ones I have are in so bad shape that you can barley read them. As there's just a page or two of them and mine go for all of the years but are not in good shape.


Thanks let me know

Just an interesting notation about a lawsuit against your plant on page 45 middle column:

The letter may resemble a B on the photos but it is no doubt an R when viewed in person.
