The 2,000,000th V-8 Ford—the one-millionth Ford produced in less than twelve months and the 23,000,000th Ford ever built—is en route to San Diego, Calif., where it will be exhibited in the Ford Exposition at the California Pacific International Exposition. The historic car was built June 13, under the watchful eyes of Henry and Edsel Ford, just six days less than a year from the day when the 1,000,000th V-8 Ford was produced June 19, 1934, for exhibition at the World’s Fair in Chicago. When the 2,000,000th V-8, a de luxe Fordor touring sedan in royal blue and gold, came off the final assembly line at the Rouge plant at Dearborn, Mich., Mr. Ford personally waved it on its way to the Pacific coast, after Mayor Clyde M. Ford of Dearborn had signed the original entry in its log book.
