The Good ole days. How did we get to where we are today so fast? It sure is a long way away from those days.
Great video thanks

So fast? It was only 36 years from the first Model T to that 1954 film of the Cleveland engine plant. 57 years later Ford is making EcoBoost V6 engines in the same factory.

Out of High school I worked in the core room at CWC textron in Muskegon . Tough job it was . Made cores for Semi engines . I worked in all of the departments a one time or another , from blowing the mold full of sand ,to dipping them before they went into the final oven ..I'd prefer to not have to do it again ..

Exactly. Anyone else figure they would have been driving a flying car by now? Anyone think we'd go 40 years without going back to the moon? Heck I thought we'd have people living on the moon by now.

Technology just seemed to go a different direction than we all thought when we were young. Still a nice video to watch though.
