Very nice compilation of all sorts of images. The first ones contain images of Henry Ford playing with kids, trying out farm machinery, riding earlier cars, but then afterwards goes into a cornocorpia of unrelated footage of everything from great images of early Coney Island, baseball, factory workers making Wagon Wheels (no, not the snack) and of course, Will Rogers! I Love it! Highly reccomended!
