Did you know that Henry Ford had suppliers put their products in crates that ford required specific sizes and special kinds of wood so that Ford could use them for floorboards in the Model T? If you’ve been around anyone who loves to talk about old cars, eventually you will hear the story about Henry Ford using wooden crates for floorboards in his Model T. So is it true? Would Ford really use old crates? Well, there’s an old legend that if you tell a lie long enough, you begin to believe that lie as absolute truth. This legend is old, and told by many a person so let’s investigate it once and for all. I am going to talk about facts that I have researched and tell you what I believe. Then, you can decide for yourself!

When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.

As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.
