I'd be like a kid in a candy store trying to decide which one I want. lol There's a couple people on the Bronco forum who work at MAP and they're always posting pictures of the Bronco's and parts from inside the plant. IDK if I'd like to work there but it would be cool to take a tour and watch them build the Ranger and Bronco. ?
All those Mustangs and Lincolns ,Galaxy, T birds. I would go nuts. I would love to see them built. My friend from high school became top man at Ford plant that make Windstars and Nissan Quest and offered to let me see how it was done. I never went and I liked to kick myself. He and I went to tech school together and then to different Ford dealers. He left the Ford dealers after 3 or 4 years and decided he didnt want to be a mechanic anymore and got a job at Boeing doing wind tunnel testing of the Osprey. Boeing sent him back to school and he got a business degree from university of Penn Warton then to Harvard for his masters in business. Between his certified mechanics degree and wind tunnel experience and his Harvard and Penn business degrees Ford contacted him and flew him out to Michigan and hired him on the spot. Sorry, back to topic if I was dropped off in that rail yard with all those cars I would have a stroke. After dinner drinks kicking in I need to shut up.

Lol Seeing as this was 1965 and the youngest guy in those pics looks to be around 50 ish that would make Phil in his mid 90's right now. ;)
Haha - there is that one young guy to the left of Andre the Giant with the glasses.

Found this old pic of the Ford Motor Company factory circa 1965. Look at all those Mustangs. ?

The only job I could get after Navy Days was a Ford Salesman (nobody wanted Nam vets for anything) (I was terrible at bullshisting about crap and so was a minimal seller, but created great customers when I did). Anyway, I did get to go to the Ford plant up in Milpitus CA a few times...watched them build Pinto's...the building of anything is great, even if the final product was a Pinto. The V6 auto version was pretty dang hot for the 70's lol!!

The guy next to the foreground truck with the gold Continental convertible (sigh) looks like it could be Lee Iacocca, based on pictures I've seen of him at that time.

When my wife and I were dating, her dad had a Tbird like the red one in the picture. He never let me drive it. Probably a wise decision on his part. At the time I blamed the beach boys for singing Fun fun fun till daddy takes the Tbird away. :crackup:
