Nedtælling til 5. dec. med sjove facts

Anders #200 har fået disse sjove facts fra Ford. Vi har dem alle (16 stk.), helt frem til 5. dec., men Ford har bedt os om ikke at offentliggøre de enkelte facts, før Ford selv har lagt dem på deres Facebook-side ( www.facebook.com/forddanmark ). Så her er de første ni, resten kommer løbende:

#3 er interessant. Empire state building er kun 381 meter høj. Så bilen har altså svævet et stykke højere oppe

Yep, den har stået på toppen af antennen/spiret ... Ligesom på tegningen i Fact #3..

Næsten ved antennen

Jeg er mere skuffet over Fact #2, "gammel kærlighed ruster aldrig" Her har jeg sgu ræverødt materiale nok til en garantisag

Dagens fact:

Ikke desto mindre en sjov historie:
The 1966 Mustang was the first – and perhaps the only – car to park on the 86th floor observation deck of New York’s Empire State Building. Ford engineers disassembled a 1966 Mustang convertible and took it up in four sections using the building’s passenger elevators.
Gad vide, om de skar den op i fire lige store dele?

Ford har vist "glemt" det sidste i ren glæde over den nye Mustang. Jeg håber de tilgiver mig, når I nu bliver de første i Danmark, der ser det her på Danmarks bedste hjemmeside

Mustang atop of Empire State Building

Just like Jalopnik mentioned, it was pretty amazing to see Porsche put its Panamera on the 94th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center. Only to find out that Ford did something similar 44 years earlier…



Stunning view don’t you think? It wasn’t too easy to get it up there and no, it wasn’t by using a helicopter or anything:

“In October 1965, with the Ford Mustang the hottest-selling car in America, the general manager of the Empire State Building had a great idea – to display a Ford Mustang on the 86th floor observation deck of the iconic Manhattan landmark.

Officials at Ford agreed and dispatched a crew to take was careful measurements of the skyscraper’s doors, hallways and elevators. They determined that a white convertible Mustang could be disassembled into four main sections and transported – along with many smaller pieces – up to the building’s 86th floor in elevators to be reassembled.”

Dixit Leslie Armbruster, Senior Collections Archivist at Ford Motor Company… now there’s a person I would like to get to know



I love stories like this. Send me some more Leslie!
