First Ford Model A delivered in Finland on 11 Jan 1928 - era Ford video
The first Ford Model A was delivered to the Ford Motor Company in Finland on 11 January 1928.
There is a very interesting short (1:58 minute) era video on YouTube showing how the Model A's for the exhibition of "The New Ford" were crated and shipped to Finland; unpacked from their shipping crates: put on display in the exhibition hall; etc, etc, etc.... Here's the link to the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P6Zpwcyc2yg Note the "Gun Metal Blue Sport Coupe" stenciling on the create wall; two versions of the Instruction Books (in Finish and Swedish); speedometer in kilometers; engine number *A1494*; installing the wheels on the shipped/crated cars; etc, etc. Fordially, Brad in Maryland Last edited by Brad in Germany; 04-03-2017 at 08:34 PM. |
