Manufacturing nearly 5 Million Model A Fords was an extremely well orchestrated series of events that started from raw materials and ended with complete cars being driven off the assembly line. With production taking place in dozens of Ford assembly plants around the world it was important that each step of the process be consistent and efficient.
Expanding on our two previous assembly videos this compilation features more of the key moments of Model A production from dozens of Ford Factory Films. This video adds nearly 12 more minutes of manufacturing footage than seen in our earlier videos including the process to manufacture glass and upholstery for the interiors.
And we changed up the music for all the people who don’t know how a mute button works.
