Ford 39

O 27.000.000º Ford, um 39 Custom Deluxe que atravessou o país, colecionando placas por onde passava.

“1939 was an important year in American and Ford history. Two World’s Fairs were held, one on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay marking, among other things, the completion of the Bay Bridge, and the other in New York’s Flushing Meadows. Ford marked the occasion by displaying its 27 millionth car, suitably its most popular model, the Deluxe Tudor Sedan. It was built in Ford’s Oakland, California assembly plant, then ceremoniously driven across the new Bay Bridge to Treasure Island where it was displayed next to the 15 millionth Ford, a 1927 Model T. Then it was driven across country to make an appearance at Ford’s Garden Court at the New York World’s Fair before returning to San Francisco where it arrived displaying license plates from all the states it traversed, each of them reading “27 000 000” or some variation.”
