[Bob Bidonde]

>Engines were turned by an electric motor to reduce friction before installation in a chassis.
>Bodies were totally assembled including paint, upholstery & doors before being dropped onto the chassis. Fenders, aprons, running boards and hoods were installed as part of final assembly.
> The first engine run was at the end of the final assembly line, and cars were driven off the line.
> Where dealers were nearby Ford Branches, new cars were often driven to the dealer showrooms.
