Default 34 assembly line pictures

Has anyone else been curious with these wildly circulated assembly line photos, like when the grill was attached?

Now we know the correct location of the V8 emblem on the grille.

It's unfortunate that unlike for the 32s, very few such assembly line photos survive in Ford's archives (or were not taken in the first place) for the '33s and '34s.

Off the beaten path but John Deere pics from 1932-1934 are real thin also .

Production of Model D tractors in 1932 was 131 and GP standard production in 1933 was 167 examples .
That is hard to believe but true .
