If you can eloquently provide the following information I will send you a 1 3/4- 1 15/16 brand new rain cap for your vertical exhaust pipe and a 6V solonoid (new in the box) from NAPA.

Here's the information and test question: (first one to eloquently respond with the right insight)

It came down to color. Henry Ford was finally over his "you can have any color as long as it is grey" attitude and finally entrusted his designers to chose a color for the new 8N model.

We all know that red on the belly and grey on the hood was selected for the new 1948-8N.

But, you must provide the "who" and "why" for the final color decision to produce the red and grey 8N tractor.

Remember, more than just the right answer, all answers will be judged for written eloquence.

Contest closes 24 hours from now 2015 ET - June 22 ,2002.

Good luck.

Oh, BTW, did you know that the days now become shorter after tonight? Just thought I would share that in preparation for winter that's just around the corner. Don't thank me, just send an eloquent response.

During the development of the 8N , someone noted that rust tended to bleed through the solid grey 9Ns and 2Ns . It was suggested at some point to paint the new tractors red so the rust would not show as badly . Someone noted that chickens tend to roost on tractors and since they are not "tractor trained" , tend to leave their "fertilizer" on the hoods . It was suggested that there should be a lighter color on the hoods and fenders . The Dearborn Motors group took a vote on a color scheme to use . Harold Brock counted the ballots . It was Harold that told the group that the vote came out red and grey . It seems that Harold's wife had a red and grey dress and HE thought that combination would make a good looking tractor . Just be glad she didn't have a polka dotted dress that he liked !

Hey Ford Man,

you're right on the money. And I agree, a polka dot dress would have been awful. Send me your address. Congratulations.

Hey 9N'er, I ain't got no ellyquince, so how about I just provide some hints for those fellers that do?
Your answer should include references to:
a chief engineer
chicken sh*t
rust
a rigged vote
a dress

Come on, the man's givin' away free stuff!
