Awesome old FoMoCo video

I'm guessing this is from the 30s ish. Pretty neat to see how they did it back in the day. I cant figger out how to link straight to the video so without further ado... http://randomactsofpatriotism.blogspot.com/2011/01/way-it-was.html

Very neat! At the start of the film they have MCMXXVII which would be 1937 but they mention the Mercury that didn't come out until 1939. Henry had his fingers into everything. I think it was in the 20's when he required his suppliers to send the parts in crates built to his spec's, size of the slats, length and type of wood, so he could turn around, cut them to shape and use in the cars. Cheap but smart.
Off to the side of the video is the debit clock - very scary to open.
