Although Ford did not get a bailout in the same sense that Chrysler and GM did, the FoMoCo was not completely devoid of US government assistance.  They lobbied for the bailout to GM and Chrysler as well as requesting upwards of 9 billion in a LOC form the feds.

And less we forget, Mother Harley had the Feds help them a few years ago as well. In 2008 they got over 2 billion in federal loans and then there was the Tariff on imported heavy weight bikes in the early 80's.

Anyone remember the Maverick, or Pinto ? Great FORD engineering ideas !!! They had the same electrical connectors as the one shown by the OP, LOL

Speaking of Chrysler Corp now owned by FIAT, anyone know what FIAT stands for ??

"

My first car was a 1960 Corvair coupe.  Used it to get to the University for a few years.  It had a (gas) heater to warm the inside of the car..........if it started blowing cold air,  you were about to run out of gas. :oops:

Don't ask me how I know that.

My Best Friend owned a "Cosworth" Vega, twin cam engine, racing stripes on the hood, What a piece !! ?? Wasn't worth a damm in the snow driving across the golf course back in High School 38 years ago, but hell, what great memories !! LOL

My brother-in-law stuffed a small block in his Vega station wagon after the aluminum engine melted as they had a habit of doing. He had to "massage" the firewall and take out the heater box but he got that engine stuffed in there. That thing smoked the other cars at the drags. I can't remember how many rear ends he exploded in that thing until he got one to live under there!
