Re: Happy birthday henry !!!!
Dear Henry,
Thank you for my education and all the fine Flathead Ford Automobiles and Trucks. Before I left Detroit in 1964 I drove out Joy Rd. and stopped to say goodby. R.I.P. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:He...ry_Detroit.JPG Mark Slight |

Re: Happy birthday henry !!!!
Whenever anyone suggests that I change something in my Ford to "improve" it I think of Henry and the genius of his mechanical creativity and end up very hesitant to divert from his tried and proven designs.
