I read that when Henry was ramping up production in order to lower finished cost it was learned that black dried faster than other colors.

I've owned many different brands over the years both foreign and domestic Probably a couple dozen Ford trucks of all sizes including a couple semi's. As far as I can remember I have only ever own 2 Ford cars though a 641/2 Mustang and a 1970 Maveric, there were others, but I don't count flip vehicles of any of the brands. I've owned my share of GM products I can think of only 2 of those I'd like to still own, but regretted ever buying them while I owned them. The only New vehicles I ever bought were Dodge or Chryslers though, save for the 1972 Vette. During my stupidity years of got to go fast it was always Dodge, not even the Vette with its 454 could hold a candle to some of my Dodges. One funny thing is of all the engines I've worked on or tweaked into being more than they should have been the only V8 firing order I can remember happens to be 18436572. There will be 2 brand enthusiast who will recognize that number

I remember that one too, all of our circle track cars are and always have been SBC. I still remember to always double check 5 & 7 as they are easily mixed up when you are in a hurry.

Never knew about the other engine that shared it, had to look it up. Interesting.

That and you do not have to take time to with colors. Do not have to match fenders to bodies, etc. Just paint everything the same color.... He was obsessed with making them as quickly as possible. Not a bad thing at the time, but it did have its drawbacks.

Just keep hating boys...

My '96 still looks pretty damn good. So does my neighbor's '78. Both original right down to the paint.

AND... Ford never took a penny of government bailout money...
