Ford Was On Hand At the Pumpkin Run Nationals

Since it's inception in June, 1903, the Ford Motor Company has been one of the best selling car lines not only in the United States, but throughout the world. Ford turned the industry on its head in 1914 when it introduced the moving assembly line. Other companies such as Dodge had used an assembly line concept where the cars remained stationary and workers brought the various parts to the frame and built the vehicle piece by piece. But Ford's moving assembly line allowed for a much more efficient construction process which, in turn, allowed the cars to be built more economically. This allowed more people to be able to afford one of Ford's automobiles. (Henry Ford was also partially responsible for the development and popularity of the charcoal industry, but that's another story.) This assembly process is why, over the years, Ford has become so popular. As a result, there were a number of Ford vehicles at the 46thAnnual Pumpkin Run Nationals. Among them was a beautiful Fairlane convertible, a 1958 Lincoln, a Mercury Medalist, a Mercury Eight convertible, a 1957 Cougar, a first generation Thunderbird, a 1967 Cougar, and a 1929 Model A Cabin Speedster.
