The Ford Barn

I think it is a very healthy thing that folks can come onto the barn, bring opinions, have ideas, ask questions and not get slaughtered. This is a place for all of us to work to increase our collective knowledge of early Fords.

I learned many years ago that asking the questions of "what, when, how or why" is important . . . in that I've found that we all have biases and things we regard as "facts" and really don't know their origin and sometimes if they are even true.

Sometimes (due to the questions being asked) we then have to step back, dig a bit deeper and try to determine why we believe what we do, or maybe how is it that we know something, where did it come from and are we sure. On occasion, we then have to research a bit more, maybe even change our views on something we held as gospel.

We're all in a continuous learning process . . . there is always more to know.

Good discussion - learned a lot about 40 Ford Clocks today! LOL
