Quite cool and unusual photos from 21studs.tumblr

The above gave me so many laughs, I've never heard of anyone putting divorce signs on a car to make fun of the "Just married" signs that are common. I wonder what would be proper to drag behind the car... the newlyweds drag tin cans, what would divorced people drag? Lawyers maybe?
I just read an article on this Franklin, I think it was in Hemmings Classic
Well, from the start of Ford to the late 40's anyway

Ford dumped toxic sludge in Ringwood New Jersey, into mines and the watershed, never cleaned it up

In the late 1960s, Ford used the Ringwood site as a dumping ground for paint sludge and industrial waste generated by a manufacturing plant it operated at the time in Mahwah. During that period, the factory produced millions of gallons of paint sludge.

Four times the federal Environmental Protection Agency ordered a cleanup, and four times the community was told their land was clean. Each time, residents found paint sludge — gooey waste that weathered into gray slabs — in parkland, in their hunting grounds or in yards.

Ford has removed nearly five times the amount of pollution it hauled out in previous cleanups of its old dumpsite. But despite government assurances that the work will finally be done right, Ford may once again be allowed to leave contamination in an area that serves as the watershed for 2.5 million North Jersey residents.

In one place in particular, the abandoned iron mines that honeycomb the area, it appears that the government may allow contamination to remain without ever determining the extent of the paint sludge that was dumped there.

In the last six years, Ford contractors removed more than 47,000 tons of paint sludge and tainted soil.

Realize that 47 thousand tons is not the total they dumped into the area, illegally, immorally, and obscenely... it's just how much they've been forced to clean up in the last 6 years. A lot remains in the abandoned iron mines Ford used to dump the millions of gallons mentioned in the article. A million gallons weighs 8 million pounds, is 4000 tons. Check all the math to see that 47k tons is 94 million gallons.

94 million gallons has been removed, and they aren't finished. The area is a cancer causing mess due to Ford dumping paint sludge into a residential area, not a hazardous material toxic treatment facility.

The first Ford exported from North America, went to South Africa

In September 1903 Mr Arthur Youldon of Johannesburg, an importer, was in New York where he saw Henry Ford demonstrate his new car. He immediately placed his order with
Henry Ford, who informed him that it would be the first Ford to be sold outside North America. The Ford Motor Company was founded earlier that year, on 16 June 1903.

The car only arrived in February 1904 in Port Elizabeth from where it had to be transported by train to Johannesburg. This car survived to this day and can be viewed at the Franschhoek Motor Museum in the Cape, which has a large display covering 100 years of motoring in SA

During July 1923 Mr Holmes and Mr H.F.A. Stockelbach visited the Ford factory
in Canada to investigate the possibility of starting an assembly plant in South Africa.

Due to preferential tax and duty applicable to Commonwealth Countries, it was
advantages to source the kits from the Canadian Ford factory rather than the USA.

This was realised in February 1924, when an old wool packing shed in Port
Elizabeth was used to start the assembly of the Ford Model Ts.

1969 Ford Fairlane, might be a Cobra, or might be dressed up to look like one, because who gets an automatic Cobra?


I think these are some of the instant identifying tailights of the musclecars, ones you instantly know what the car is by seeing

1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe, original owners brought it to the Escondido cruise

This is the look of the grill before the terrible decision to go with square headlight buckets design of the 1966 Sports Coupe... I love these

Nice side trim and false scoop

We all know how famous Ford Figo has been and is developing more popular day by day. Other than this small car Ford Fiesta has also been capable to vault an discernible amount of sales but not as much as Figo’s. So with the above two cars the sedan and small car market has been swayed a lot but what about the SUV segment.We are emphasizing on the SUV segment just for the reason that Ford Endeavour has been lacking the pace which it initially did and more prominently because of new entries like Toyota Fortuner etc..

The car above is not common to you but will soon become as it is the new mini SUV Ford Ecosport looked to come to India in 2012. Unexpectedly this car is based on Ford Figo’s platform and is running successfully in Brazil and Mexico and will be revised before it is brought to the Indian market.The car is very charming and will compete against cars like Tata Sumo Grande and Mahindra Xylo. Two types of engines will be suggested with this machine and the specifications of the same are as follows.Considering the price tags of Xylo and Sumo Grande the car is expected to be price very competitively between Rs.7 to Rs.10 Lakh.
