Old timer 1930 FORD.

During my bike ride I saw a twenty old cars, coming on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands (Maldegem B - Eede Nl)

I think a car FORD 1930 Type A
Ford's sales force recognized the threat and advised Henry to respond to it. Initially he resisted, but the T's sagging market share finally forced him to admit a replacement was needed. When he finally agreed to begin development of this new model, he focused on the mechanical aspects and on what today is called design for manufacturability (DFM), which he had always strongly embraced and for which the Model T production system was famous. Although ultimately successful, the development of the Model A included many problems that had to be resolved. For example, the die stamping of parts from sheet steel, which the Ford company had led to new heights of development with the Model T production system, was something Henry had always been ambivalent about; it had brought success, but he felt that it was not the best choice for durability. He was determined that the Model A would rely more on drop forgings than the Model T; but his ideas to improve the DFM of forging did not prove practical. Eventually, Ford's engineers persuaded him to relent, lest the Model A's production cost force up its retail price too much.
Henry's disdain for cosmetic vanity as applied to automobiles led him to leave the Model A's styling to a team led by his son Edsel, even though he would take credit for it despite his son doing more of the work.
It was during the period from the mid-1920s to early 1930s that the limits of the first generation of mass production, epitomized by the Model T production system's rigidity, became apparent. The era of "flexible mass production" had begun.

Hallo John,
Eigenaardig dat deze old timers op de grens verzamelden. De vorige heb je in Nederland geplaatst. Deze hier in Belgiλ. Goed, deze hier is de mooiste :)
Ben jij een old timer-liefhebber ?
Perfect scherp tot in de details gepresenteerd tegen een wazige achtergrond.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
With a colour of noble red wine this old Ford is quite a beauty. I will admit that, even though I don't care particularly for cars. An old cobbled street would have suited it better than the grey slabs, but you had no choice. It is a perfectly sharp photo anyway, and as always very well exposed.
Kind regards,
Gert

pierrefonds (115677) 2018-04-30 13:29

Hi John,

The car is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showing the details of the 1930 Ford Type A. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Royaldevon (86564) 2018-05-01 1:21

Hello John,

These old car is full of character, from its white rimmed tyres to its rich ruby red body, from its huge, silver headlamps to its canvas hood!
I can see that there is someone inside, driving! What a proud owner he must be!
The car is sharply detailed, very well angled in the frame and has space into which it can move.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello John,
Another classic capture in every sense of the word. The car is well placed in the frame and nicely lifted from the background. Excellent rendering of the colours and sharpness cannot be faulted.

Hello John,

I wasn't around in 1930/31 and neither was my mother! But people can still appreciate these old vintage cars long after they have been superseded by later models with advanced designs. Tfs!

rychem (72187) 2018-05-01 8:01

A little nostalgia, another beautiful old car, very well captured, on internet I have found the speed was about 55kmh, not bad, an excellent photo

Hallo John,
Een prachtige foto van deze oldtimer, hij staat haarscherp op de foto waardoor het contrast met de wazige achtergrond de auto nog sterker naar voren laat komen. De donkerrode kleur is erg aantrekkelijk en alle onderdelen glanzen mooi.

Good evening John,
Burgundi-red painted this old ford, in great driving condition and each element magnificently built and shown on your picture.
It's motion was superbly detected, bravo.
Added this to my "old-cars" theme.

Hello John,
What a well-kept old car! In the past, I have been fortunate to run into road trips arranged by old car clubs, but I lost all those photos with the hard disk crash of a few years ago. Maybe I should actively be searching for them.
Regards,
MT

branley (3681) 2018-07-01 22:21
