Cool pics of Tarrytown. Check out the engine line........exhaust manifolds on the V8's look to be completly covered with paint.

Absolutely great!

Thanks a lot. I even saw a few of those motors with the funny shaped valve covers...

L pics!!!

Love the W-motors in the engine bank pic too!.

Does the two tone paint on the '59 Biscayne w/ the trunk lid open on Pg. 7 look strange...white roof, lid and quarter tops but red A-B-C Pillars?.

It may look strange Pete, but that's the way they did it. By the way, no two-tones on convertibles, although some people have restored them that way.

Look at those painted exhaust manifolds... no paint on the hose from the water pump to intake, and the mask line on the thermostat housing... and the crayon marking on the cylinder.

awesome shots!

I must've blocked that one from my memory Verne...looks more like something the Kaiser Frazer color dept would dream up?.

<font color="blue">I worked there in '79-'80 when they were building ...

... working there was an interesing experience since my boss let me work almost every job on the engine line;
I even worked in the spray booth doing undercoating. I took the place of anyone that was sick or on vacation.

That was the morning shift, then I was moved to nights & my new boss didn't like me.
I only lasted a few months with him before I threw a motor mount through his office window & quit.

I may have had anger issues back then ... or maybe he deserved it. (a little of both I am sure).
But there was definetly something bad about FWD & I new it then.
