I overheard you discussing with our County Commissioners the Ford-assembled B-24 Bombers, the female workforce, and especially that you said they were built in less than an hour. As a veteran, I would like to know more about it. I\u2019m an old timer with little computer knowledge and I enjoyed having a coffee with you at the cafeteria that day. Thank you in advance. Signed John, an Army vet living in Athens, Pa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A: John, no problem, and I\u2019m glad we both got to attend the Guthrie Clinic Veterans event and share time reminiscing while enjoying a coffee. As I promised to answer your question in my column, we\u2019ll start here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Domestic passenger automobile production was halted by a government mandate in February of 1942. The manufacturers were to concentrate fully on war needs production as the car companies received over $10 billion in war-related orders. This mandate took place after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7 of 1941. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">During this time, all manufacturers either enlarged and\/or converted their factories to address our wartime needs, resulting in better-built military equipment. To this day, in my opinion, it was Henry Ford II that made the biggest and most amazing contribution to the war effort. Specifically, he built a brand new gigantic airplane assembly plant in Willow Run, Michigan, where his workers, many of them female, were able to assemble a complete B-24 bomber in just 55-minutes using his assembly line ideology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, an entire and ready to fly B-24 bomber airplane in just 55-minutes. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In total, all car manufacturer plants produced 5.9 million weapons, 2.8 million tanks and trucks, and 27,000 aircraft, of which Ford accounted for near 9,000 of the B-24 bombers. Notable is that between 1944 and 1945, when needed most, the Willow Run plant accounted for nearly a third of the entire wartime aircraft production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Although you say you\u2019re not a wiz with the computer, I\u2019m sure someone will help get you on YouTube where you can watch the many Ford-built bomber videos about this amazing accomplishment.&nbsp;Here\u2019s my three recommendations: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RNKlpOlfNT0&nbsp;for a 7-minute version, or the Periscope Films 33-minute featurette of the B-24 bomber \u201cless than an hour\u201d miracle at&nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p2zukteYbGQ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, most interesting and explaining best the impact of the female workforce is this 10-minute 1943 Ford Motor Company video at&nbsp;Women On The Warpath (1943) &#8211; Inside The Willow Run B-24 Plant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In summary, Ford stunned everyone in the military with its B-24 Bomber assembly line. Check it out and have a happy holiday season John. It was good meeting you at the Guthrie&nbsp;Clinic. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99358\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99358\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99358\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Collector Car \/ Cars We Remember; Females at Willow Run, Kaiser-Frazer \u2018all-new\u2019 car and Saab history\" width=\"350\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector2-1.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector2-1-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-99358\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This advertisement promotes Kaiser Frazer&#8217;s &#8220;1947 Kaiser Special&#8221; as the&nbsp;first all new post World War II American made automobile to hit the market. It was built at the former and \u201cbomber famous\u201d Willow Run plant that Kaiser purchased from Ford following the war. (Kaiser Frazer)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>First post war \u2018new\u2019 car<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Q: I enjoy reading the nostalgia car articles and want to know which manufacturer truly had the first post war new car? I read different accounts of which manufacturer it was.&nbsp;Thank you, Sonny Lang, Detroit, Michigan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A: Sonny, I would think Henry Kaiser and Joseph Frazer, the duo behind the Kaiser-Frazer automobiles in 1947, would receive the \u201cfirst new post war car\u201d award.&nbsp;However, since it was the duo\u2019s first ever car launch, well, it had to be all new.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Kaiser was the noted&nbsp;shipbuilder and health care HMO founder (the HMO is still active today), who partnered with former Graham-Paige CEO Frazer in 1946 to build the first ever Kaiser-Frazer models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Correctly anticipating a post war auto bull market, the duo leased a former Ford production facility in your home state at Willow Run (yes, of bomber B-24 fame) and quickly built 11,000 cars in 1946 as 1947 models. Granted, this was the first ever Kaiser-Frazer to hit the market, but they were ahead of all the manufacturers in America by a good 24 months. In 1947, 100,000 Kaiser &#8211; Frazer&#8217;s were built, and the company turned a near $20-million profit. The 1947 model was dubbed the Kaiser Special.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We&#8217;ve written before about Henry Kaiser, and had he not been a bit over enthusiastic in hoping to upset the Chrysler &#8211; Ford &#8211; GM big three domination, he may have succeeded. However, going against the advice of Frazer, who left the company in 1948, Kaiser over-built and over-invested in the company, which he then called Kaiser Motors.&nbsp;Kaiser missed his sales goals and was negatively impacted&nbsp;by the many new models from GM, Ford, and Chrysler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Still, the 1947 Kaiser Special looks to be the first post-World War II new car, regardless of the \u201cwell it had to be all-new\u201d circumstances. Kaiser continued to build cars at Willow Run through 1953 when it merged with Willys-Overland to form Willys Motors.

The Swedish built car advertisement shared the popularity with the Saab-built aircraft. (Saab)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Saab\u2019s USA heritage dates to the 1956 New York Car Show<\/b>&nbsp;<br \/>\nQ: Greg I used to love the Saab cars and am not sure what ever happened to them. When did the Saab come to America? How did they get here? I know the other Swedish model, the Volvo, is still going strong. John May, Spokane, Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A: John, Saab built its first automobile back in 1949 as the company had made a big name for itself as a Swedish aircraft company. Today, Saab is a favorite of car collectors, especially for&nbsp;its unique \u201chumpback\u201d sedans and coupes that roamed the roadways starting in&nbsp;1956 here in America.&nbsp;Unfortunately, Saab cars haven\u2019t been built since 2014 following much ownership turmoil, including General Motors building Saabs from 1989 through 2010. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thanks to information provided to me by Saab, it was noted that in late 1955, Tryggve Holm, Saab\u2019s Chairman, came to the U.S. to meet with Saab\u2019s USA&nbsp;aircraft parts-buying agent Ralph Millet, an ex-pilot and aeronautical engineer&nbsp;and a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Millet\u2019s company, called Independent Aeronautical, was based in New York, and represented Saab aircraft parts in America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">During business discussions, Chairman Holm asked Millet his opinion of importing the new Saab 93 model. Millet was pessimistic about the idea and skeptical of&nbsp;American consumers\u2019 acceptance of a two-stroke-powered car, as it was necessary to mix oil into the gas tank, like a motorcycle or lawn mower engine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_99360\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector4-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99360\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector4-1.jpg\" alt=\"Collector Car \/ Cars We Remember; Females at Willow Run, Kaiser-Frazer \u2018all-new\u2019 car and Saab history\" width=\"350\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector4-1.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/12\/Car_Collector4-1-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-99360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saab built its first automobile in 1949 after establishing itself as a top aircraft manufacturer. This advertisement for a 2009 Saab accentuates both its auto and aircraft manufacturing abilities ala the \u201cBorn From Jets\u201d trademark lingo. (Saab)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Two days after meeting with Holm, Millet drove Holm to the airport at which time Millet confessed that, frankly, he knew nothing about the car business. In response, Holm insisted that he send a few Saabs to be displayed at the upcoming New York Auto Show to judge public reaction. Without delay, three Saab cars were shipped, and Millet dutifully booked an exhibit space at the 1956 New York Auto Show. The cars shown were two Saab 93 models and a Sonett Super Sport. By the end of the car show, Millet was in the car business with Saab.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Thus, Saab\u2019s first major model to appear in the U.S. was the \u201956 Saab 93, featuring front-drive, a 33-horsepower, three-cylinder, two-stroke engine&nbsp;and a four speed on the column. Saab\u2019s two-stroke engine was well suited for winter operation, and owners enjoyed the fact that it always seemed to start even on the coldest of days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 1957, the first full year of U.S. sales, 1,410 Saab 93s were sold, approximately 14-percent of total output. By the end of 1959, some 12,000 Saab&nbsp;93s had been shipped to the U.S., making the USA Saab\u2019s largest export market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I hope this helped answer your question, John. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">(Greg Zyla is a syndicated auto columnist who welcomes reader questions at<br \/>\n303 Roosevelt St., Sayre Pa., 18840 or email him at&nbsp;greg@gregzyla.com.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Ford\u2019s female workforce helped win WWII&nbsp;
