Truck - Factory - Some assembly required 1942 Tie

Colorized photo from 1942, August Original title: Chrysler Corporation Dodge Truck plant Photographer: Arthur S. Siegel Location: Detroit, MI During World War II, the government created the Defense Production act, it allowed the government to order companies to build things they needed for an emergency. They of course aided in building or getting them what they needed. In this case they needed army trucks and tanks to be built. So they built a building specially for this use. It was designed to have large open windows like this. It allowed a lot of light inside. But at the same time many of the walls were 3 feet thick, and the roof was designed to divert bombs away from windows and exhaust fans. This part of the plant are creating the WC53 Carryall's. It was sort of a station wagon, often used as an ambulance. You can see just how many people were employed to make these things. Everything by hand and of course American made. Each person installed their part, some had to weld, braze or solder things on. And note there are no fans any where, its August, and so many people are in tank tops. You can almost feel the heat radiating in that plant.

I originally ordered 1 tie to test and ensure I liked it with the suits we had ordered! The tie came and it was perfect! We loved it! The colours were bright and the tie was beautifully made. I then ordered the 6 additional ties and the colours are slightly different. The 6 ties were a little less vibrant and the white background was slightly different! .

Thanks for delivering this wonderful tie for my best friends 40th 90s theme birthday party. My partner and I are dressing up as Mulder and Scully and the tie is very Mulderish. The character should have worn one in the show. Tie arrived quickly and everything went smoothly with the purchase. Would highly recommend Zazzle to other shoppers. 👽😃. Exactly like picture
