Cool pics!! Its great Ford is sharing their archive pics with the ones that really care!
It is a great way to see how factory originals looked for us stock guys! BUT do be careful! Some of the '53 truck pics are of prototypes. The 53 F-100's front bumper is different and the hubcaps were the shiny stainless like 48-52 not the painted argent. ALso look at the tail gate of the '53, it is a FORD script tail gate like the 48-52...
Great stuff! There is one that shows Henry "tinkering with the 1932 V8"; it is actually Henry stamping the serial number on the first V8 off the assembly line personally. I'm fascinated by the one that shows machining the engine blocks for the Model T engine, dated 1914. Looks like it drills all the holes in the block at once.
