This original promotional advertising film by Ford Motor Company shows the in-depth, complete process of making the Model T Wooden Spoke Wheel from start to finish. The Film is from 1918.

From the moving assembly line at the Ford Motor Company River Rouge Plant in Detroit Michigan, Henry Ford and his famous Tin Lizzy Model T was a masterful creation that put the world on wheels. This silent era film as period correct music that makes reading the script just as enjoyable as watching the movie itself.

BigTech/MSM has pretty much banned any real news coming out until further notice. Movies, music and nonsense is about all I have access to lately.

By the time the Model A came around Henry Ford had automotive glass production mastered. Applying his moving assembly line concept to mixing, pouring, polishing, and cutting glass he was turning out millions of square feet of glass a year.

We took 11 different archive films and spliced this compilation together. It looks like most of the glass being made is door and rear window glass, there's no obvious signs of Triplex Safety Glass being manufactured in this film.

We've been wanting to do a video in our Model A production series that focused on the creation of upholstery. Unfortunately there just isn't a lot of film available for the Model A interiors. We put together this compilation of 3 different films from 1926 and 1927 showing how Ford made cloth for interior components. Ford's vertical integration, that is to try and control supply from the source all the way to a completed car, is shown in this video. While this video does not show Model A production the methods are similar to those utilized to make Model A interiors.
