Henry Ford was facing declining sales in late 1931. Falling from the top position of the auto industry and loosing ground with Chevrolet and their introduction of a more powerful 6 cylinder motor, Henry Ford was facing a difficult decision. The Great Depression was affecting car sales. His solution was to make a V8 from just a single cast block. Nobody in the automotive industry had done it before and even his top engineers thought that it was impossible. But Henry Ford felt otherwise.

With historical film footage from the Ford Library, this documentary film talks about the new Ford V8 and the entire product line of cars and trucks for the 1932 year.
