1931 Danish Ford Rodeo Carwash: Quick “snapshot” of an auto show sponsored by the Ford Motor company in Copenhagen, Denmark July 5th, 1931. Cars as well as drivers certainly had to face some trying work on the dirt track and afterwards they all headed to the rodeo “carwash” for a cleansing dip. See additional GIF clips: “Driving Over Mountains” or “Back & Fords”, “Bucking Bronco Boards” and “Pothole Speedbumps”

Note: Henry Ford started a motion picture company in 1914. He became one of the first producers of non-newsreel educational film and was for many years one of the largest film producers in the world. See the Guide to the Ford Film Collection
