Justin from LetsMakeMedia put together some real simple videos from the panels we did at the Rally and I figured I would make them available to the public.

Here is the first of three, with Edsel B. Ford II and Mose Nowland taking some time to talk a little about their history at Ford with Karl Brauer moderating. Profound thanks for their participation.

Good background video on Mose and his 50+ years at Ford.

An accomplished, Incredible man and modest beyond belief! Proud to call him a friend!

Fast forward to approx. 51 minutes on the Autoline program and listen. That's the story!

What an amazing guy and story.
An inline 8V carburetor....wow. And having the right double plated rocker arm nut in his pocket at LeMans. Legendary.
My wife and I ran into Mose at the Museum during the rally and he is every bit the gentleman we saw on stage and in the interview above.
Ford was (is) lucky to have him!
 
excellent.

Mose is a great guy who spent a lot of time with me on the phone when I was writing my new book, FORD TOTAL PERFORMANCE. Photo attached: Edsel Ford II presented the prestigious Spirit of Ford Award to race engine engineer, Mose Nowland, left, with his wife, Marcia, at a special event at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City prior to the 2005 NASCAR Banquet. Nowland retired as Senior Motorsports Engineer from Ford after 57 years in 2012.
