Vintage automobile factories

1942 Jeep Production Toledo Oh10 Willys Overland.

 

The thing that stood out to me in this first photo is the women's footwear. I can't imagine anyone wearing shoes like that on an assembly line, of any sort, today.

 

None of them are in shape, either. When a heel gets turned with all of that ballast weight on it, there goes that ankle and someone will take that job. Smiley boy there is hitting on them, despite

 

I knew they had no open shoe's rules for a reason, but other than exectives personal assistant's I have never seen them in automotive assembly line before.

Midwest house wives helping the war effort. I wonder how new to the plant they were to have all the pictures taken by Life.

 

The reason for “Smiley Boy” is that he’s wearing an open toed, fur lined mule with a heal higher than the ladies. He loved the war effort. One of 7 men on the line, and the most stylish. He showed those Beaaaaaches a thing or two.

 

He surely looks comfortable among those chunky Frump old maids and househogs. A real lady's man it's. I guess, it was better that way. Imagine, if he had volunteered to serve with the others. In that case would his company in a fox hole be thinkable?

Doing the Valiant body drop

 

With the painted headlight rings, and all that blocking, that had to be some type of scale model they were building.

 

Hey Poison is the Valiant drop the American type version of the ever popular British song the Bristol Stomp?
