July 22: With their supply lines stretched to the breaking point, Nazi German troops are forced to stop their progress through Russia for the first time in the campaign. His perceived need for getting the engine to market as soon as possible left insufficient time for durability testing, so troubles surfaced early. Do you need to be able to reconfigure it for different shows or other uses? In the year 1850-52, the all Mormon legislature sanctions slavery of not only Blacks, but Indians, stating that a white man need only be in possession of an Indian for that Indian to be enslaved, and this included children. You’ll need general lighting to find your way around the room; task lighting for shaving, hairstyling, and fixing that splinter; and, in some baths, mood lighting. Web sites like Heartsy and Etsy and directories like Handmade Clothes can help you find clothing and other goods sold by independent retailers and crafters, and you can search each site’s offerings to find the clothing styles and sizes that match your child’s needs.
But Ford still couldn’t match their independent front suspension, and wouldn’t until 1949. Sealed-beam headlamps arrived, as elsewhere in Detroit, neatly housed in more upright fender nacelles. The most obvious were a longer, more-pointed hood and a more sharply Vee’d grille to match. Industry design trends dictated hiding some previously exposed components, so horns now hooted from behind little covered holes astride the grille. Both body styles had long since lost whatever favor they once had, but Ford was far behind its rivals in realizing this fact (Plymouth’s last roadster and phaeton appeared in 1932, Chevrolet’s in ’35). Developed from Bob Gregorie’s wartime sketches, the Sportsman featured white ash and mahogany trim over its doors, rear body panels, and deck, as on the Chrysler Town & Country. The fenders themselves were beautifully curved to complement body contours; rear fender skirts, long a popular accessory, imparted an even sleeker look. A new camshaft and better crankcase ventilation further enhanced the lively V-8, and the frame and rear axle were beefed up. Wheelbase stretched two inches to 114, bodysides ballooned outward, and a stouter frame contributed to an average 100 pounds of added curb weight. Edsel went to work, and the new L-head six bowed for 1941. With 226 cid and 90 horsepower, it had five more cubic inches than the V-8 and a like number of extra horsepower — a bit embarrassing.
Still, many buyers were wary, so Ford kept four-cylinder cars through 1934. That compared with 40/50 horsepower from the 200.5-cid Model A/B four. The V-8 was pushed up to the same 90 horsepower as the six — likely by the stroke of a engineer’s pen. Neither bomb exploded, but only one of the six safety devices worked in one of the bombs. They worked as advertised. Economy was supposed to be a strong point, but really wasn’t. An expanded lineup in general and the unique Riviera in particular were responsible, but so was a very strong overall market that bought Detroit cars in record numbers: over 9.3 million for the calendar year, the best since ’55. Specials were now sixes only, but the lineup was otherwise unchanged. And there was now a second V-8 convertible, a novel variation on the standard item called Sportsman. The Standard two-passenger coupe still sold for little more than $500, while the DeLuxe Fordor cost only $615. Buyers evidently preferred higher performance over lower retail cost. But a $500 price premium over the all-steel convertible limited sales to just 1209 for ’46, 2250 for ’47, and just 28 for ’48 (the last actually reserialed ’47s).
Closed rumble-seat types were also in their last year. The four-cylinder engine was breathing its last. Ford wouldn’t top Chevy again until 1934 despite scoring a coup with America’s first low-priced V-8. But it was delayed by the peculiar conditions Henry imposed on his engineers, olymp withdrawal so the Model A appeared with only four-cylinder power as an interim measure. Allied armies employed it — thanks to Lend-Lease — in conditions ranging from the North African desert to Soviet snow and Pacific jungles. Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new – North as well as South. Police assault the hostage-takers and kill or arrest them. The old man kept a close watch over the V-8’s development, badgering his engineers and telling them what to do.
