Porsche tractor

I'd bet if you spent enough time combing the forests of columbia, you could find one of the carcasses of those 300. They can't all be gone...

Both went on to produce sports cars that were the dreams of their makers

Both used this knowledge to build tractors that have stood the test of time.

Ok, I'm done, fire at will.

Mostly, yes. But a Ford sports car is problematic (GT 40?) and Porsche tractors (which were never built by Porsche) were OK but never a great success.

Would have loved to been there if Henry Ford and Ferdinand Porsche every got together to talk cars. I think that woud have been a conversation.

Found the pictures of my old 9N that were taken on that autumn day in 2006 that it went to its new owner. Except for the dashboard casting, which had been corroded by the battery and fixed with angle iron, it was very original and ran like new. It even still has the correct (and fragile) 9N rear hubs. The new owner was a nice guy, but at times I wish I still owned it.
