Cover Story: Official Car of the Detroit Lions

On the Cover: What is Clem Crabtree, right guard for the 1940 Detroit Lions football team, telling Stark Hickey, the Detroit Ford dealer in our cover photo? He should be pointing out the fact that the hinges on the door of that new Lincoln Continental Cabriolet are not as strong as they might be, and it would be a good idea not to lean on the door like that! But in 1940, who knew? Our thanks go to Dick Duncan of Jerome-Duncan Ford, Sterling Heights, Michigan, for providing this great color photo for our cover.
