Old video

Might be a re-post, but I found it interesting (especially the very last line of the narrative), considering what's going on. It's a year-old video, but I had never seen it: detnews.com | Webvideo | Ford's most advanced assembly plant operates in rural Brazil

I've never seen that video before. Imagine that...an efficient cost effective way to build cars. Maybe Ford needs to file bankruptcy...rid themselves of union contracts...and start over by doing something like this in the states.

Pete...thanks for sharing.

Anyone remember "The Rouge"? Henry Fords huge plant, churning out Modet T's back in the day, raw steel entered one end and finished cars left the other...
