Assembling Ford V-8 Engines at Ford Rouge Plant, Dearborn, Michigan, 1934
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford's last great automotive innovation was his introduction of a low-priced V-8 engine for 1932. Starting under $500, it was an exceptional value. Ford Motor Company's V-8 outsold its four-cylinder engine by a wide margin, and the four-cylinder unit was retired for 1935. The 1932 V-8 engine design remained in production until 1953.
