	With all the new tachnologies *invented* between the first Ford and
now, all we learned from Ford that we applied to the Mustang are little
more than the basic design of a box riding on four wheels (note that Ford
himself did not invent most of the tachnologies that were required for his
design to work, he simply arranged what was available to create a new
machine.) Today's automobiles are the result of effort by many many
inventors, designers, technicians, engineers, etc. It's just plain silly
to say we built the Mustang by learning from Ford's "original" work.
