Just saw this on FaceBook and think it's kinda neat.




I have that first one hanging in my shop.

 

Why is it written like that in Script ?

Because that is how Henry wrote his last name .

What does the F series stand for . Farm

Look on your truck . You have provisions for right hand drive for the steering box & master cyl .You will see the holes .

Henry made the heat pan inside the Magic Air heater out of a thinner metal same 48-50 , thinner 51-52 .

Eliminated the 4" round adapter ring for the fresh air tube on the '52 model . Hence the 2 different styles of heater boot .

 

Good information Denny. That 1909 logo does look like a signature.

 

I question the accuracy of the dates and changes on the logos. The script in the logo is not Henry's signature. It's a stylization done by marketing folks at the time. If you google Henry Ford's signature, you find early and late examples, which show his signature changes to look more like the logo, long after the logo was introduced. But even then, it's still not the same.

The first use of the blue oval I have ever found was on the Model A in 1928. The version they're calling 1957 looks more like the ornamentation found on the front of mid-30's cars. The 1976 chrome reflection version is 1983.

 

Whaaaaaat????? You mean I can't believe everything I see on the internet?????

 

It's also interesting that the font is called "Ford Script" font.
