actually other companies made the idea better. and there were steam and electric vehicles around before ford came in the picture. i'm just glad we're still not cranking our engines by hand.

My great-grandad had a Ford model AA dump truck back during the 30's. He hauled coal with it and used it around the farm, until he bought a 1952 Ford F-6 (which my dad now owns). The old AA still sits in the barn at the old homestead. My great-grandad died about 30 years ago.
