How to Celebrate "The Deuce"

[dr511scj]

In the oft chance some janitor or other low-level Ford employee actually reads any of this stuff (I strongly doubt it--except for some junior lawyer looking for someone to slap a "cease and desist" threat upon) I'm reposting the following in this section of the forum:

 

Here's a great irony for you:

 

FORD TO HONOR 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF HOT ROD ICONS -- THE '32 "DEUCE" AND FIRST MASS-PRODUCED V8

DEARBORN, Michigan, August 21, 2005 – The 1932 Ford, the car that brought style and performance to the mass market and went on to become the quintessential hot rod nicknamed the “Deuce,†will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2007. Ford will participate in celebrating the ‘32’s impact on automotive enthusiasm and culture with a display of the 75 most influential and important 1932 Ford hot rods, as selected by a panel of experts. The display will premiere at the January, 2007 Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, Calif., the nation’s oldest annual hot rod show. (21 Aug 05, USA)

 

 

FORD INVENTED THE LOW-COST V8 MARKET IN AMERICA!

 

YET IT IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE DETROIT 3 ON THE CUSP OF NOT OFFERING RWD OR A V8 IN ANY OF ITS "MAINSTREAM SEDANS!"

 

WHY NOT CELEBRATE "THE DEUCE" BY BUILDING RWD V8 SEDANS FOR MIDDLE AMERICA!

 

NOT EVERYONE WHO LOVES PERFORMANCE CAN FIT THEIR FAMILY INTO A MUSTANG!

 

Why is it that GM can pack 400 or so h.p. in a Trailblazer SS (awesome truck, BTW), but weak sister FoMoCo struggles even to get 300 h.p. its vehicles (Don't you dare say CAFE, because FoMoCo could use the FFV loophole anytime it wanted to).
