Trent Boggess Early Ford Database presentation

Post by Rob » Fri Jun 12, 2020 11:45 am

Trent Boggess, college professor and early Ford historian, presented a discussion about his early Ford database. Trent located, and painstakingly tabulated the remaining Ford Motor Company production/shipping ledgers for early Ford cars, 1903 - 1909. Click on the link below to hear his explanation of the different models as well as production numbers and other interesting early Ford information.

Thank you Trent.

G'day Rob,

Thanks for posting the link once again.

I watched the introduction and will get around to watching the whole presentation when time permits.

Very much appreciate you interest in the pre T era.

Best regards, John Page, Australia.

I just watched this presentation by Trent, and as usual, he did a great job. Thank you Trent for a very interesting and informative discussion of the early Fords, and Thank you, Rob, for hosting this.

G'day Rob,

Finally had time to catch up with the presentation.

Great hearing the background information regarding these records.

I have a copy of Carlton Pate's book and the DVD from the time when the book was first released for sale in 2008.

It will be good to go through the book and DVD now with the added knowledge that I will now probably understand a little better.

Thanks once again Rob for allowing us the chance to sit in on the session.

Best regards, John Page, Australia.

Great presentation. Thank you Trent.
And Thank you Rob for making it happen.
We had a mini tornado here last Wednesday and I had no power to attend the meeting.
Now I am caught up and look forward to the next one. I could've driven to Jerry Van's
but I wasn't invited.

We have standards to uphold.

Besides, why didn't you steal a few more watts of your neighbor's generator? ;)
