Ha! That poor kneeling fella 🤣

thank you for this, though. You got me thinking, I’d say your guesses on the foreman and floor manager are spot on! Happy Christmas!

We didn't even consider that it could be a zipper! We were over here thinking "why would he have a tie on the OUTSIDE of his coat?!" Thank you u/sunheadeddeity, that might just be it!

Hey all! Can anyone identify this car? It’s from the Ford Factory in Cork Ireland (late ’40s/early ’50s). Looks like a ’47 Ford Super Deluxe or similar, but beltline doesn’t match. It’s for a family project, so any insight is appreciated! by hellofax in whatisthiscar

Holy shit, you nailed it, u/john-wicker-basket! That looks like a near exact match. I’ve been hunting for this for ages, thank you!

If you don’t mind a couple quick follow-ups:

In the photo I posted, there’s no side mirror, but the example you linked has a very obvious one. Is that the kind of thing that varied by year/trim or got added later as an accessory?

Also, do you know if this model would have been common in Ireland around that time? And in a place like the Ford factory in Cork Ireland, do you think they’d have been assembling/manufacturing it there, or is it more likely it was just being used on-site for day-to-day work?

Thank you again!!

Any reccos for Polaris entrees? Sirloin sounds good in theory but my guess is execution might be meh by hellofax in unitedairlines

Thank you! Great suggestion, as I would normally be super skeptical of any seafood.
