Going all the way to impress potential buyers at the 1925 First Auto Expo of Rio de Janeiro
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 5:55 PMFor 16 days, Ford assembled cars on a makeshift assembly line for the public to watch
The event was attended by Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Gray, Packard, Hudson, Itala, Lancia and Voisin.
these photos came to light when the grandson of an engineer associated with making the expo happen, loaned the bool to a Rio newspaper. It's likely that no one alive recalls the event, or that it was thrown to promote development of roads in Brazil, because there weren't any. In view of the push that more car owners and car makers would make with the demand for roads, if I read the articles right, this was a brilliant idea that would force roads to get made from the trails that barely were drivable .
For a full gallery and posts about this extraordinary display of new cars and extreme measures to impress the potential new buyers in Rio, be sure to have Google toolbar ready to translate or use

Thanks to Nik and Rafael for spreading the word about this amazing historical moment, which I bet has never been duplicated or copied
Is it any wonder I recommend Nik's blog so highly? Couldn't give it higher praise and applause!

I'm off to see some Customs this year, check in after these shows for some photo coverage of them! Maybe you already have seen that the Beatniks of Koolsville have among their hot rods and customs the member who is the lead singer of Metallica, James Hetfield. The 3 or 4 vehicles that I've seen that he's had made are incredible http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Metallica I'm guessing that the other cars in the Beatniks of Coolsville club are on par
