Relax, it was just before they released the V8.

From what I understand, they shut down for over a year while they worked out the V8. Can't see that happening these days.

Even if they did, I have my good ol 7.3. All i need is some oil and filters and fuel and that would make short work of that year

Your right though, that would never happen now a days!

No, they did not shut down before releasing the V8. They shut down for six months between the Model T and the Model A. This was in 1927. Many Ford dealers went out of business since they didn't have cars to sell.
