When did Ford stop including tools??

[konawajim]

My husband's son asked a question I have been unable to find an answer to on the web. He wanted to know when did Ford stop including tools with the auto they sell.

I don't know,but as late as the 50's the tractors still had tools.

Might ask on the Early V-8 Forum, I am going to guesse just before of just after WWII. Rod

sometime in the early to mid 1950's. They were slowly cutting back on the number of tools supplied during the '40's but you could buy them from the Dealer. By the '50's the days of owner servicing or fixing was just about finished.

They still do. Now that cars are more reliable the manufactures think that all you need is a jack and a lug wrench.

Our '42 came with a pretty respectable tool kit; jack, pliers, head wrench, etc., plus there were some additional things you could buy from the dealer, like the crank and extension for manual starting (can't imagine crank starting a V8 but you could do it). I think by the end of the 50's they were pretty much down to the jack and lugwrench though.
