Ford at 100!

Cover Story: Ford's 100th and GOF XXXV

On the Cover: If the entire Ford 100th anniversary experience and LZOC's involvement in it were to be summed up in one picture, that picture would have to show the Ford world headquarters building decorated with the "Ford 100" centennial banner, an H-series V-12 Lincoln, and one of the major events or attractions with a lot of visitors and spectators enjoying it. The photograph on our cover does that. In the foreground here is the 1947 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet of Robert and Myrt Gilstorff of Onsted, Michigan. Bob is an LZOC member, #2223, but he did not participate in LZOC's Gathering of the Faithful No. XXXV, as his car was tapped for use in Ford's display of "100 Icons that Moved the World," which was one significant Ford vehicle to represent each of the 100 years that the Ford Motor Company has been in business, parked in chronological order in the parking lot in front of the Henry Ford II World Center (now the official name of Ford's WHQ). As one of the hundred icons, Bob's Continental was parked beside its identifying sign for the entire centennial weekend. This '47 Continental, a 1942 Lincoln Custom armor-plated for the U.S. President, and a stock 1936 Lincoln-Zephyr Sedan were the only cars recognized by LZOC to be included among the hundred icons, as you will see in this issue.
