Back in 1960 our family lived in Geelong, near Melbourne, Australia. My father, John McIntyre, worked for Ford, and we had moved from Canada two years previously when Dad assumed the position of Managing Director of Ford Australia. One of the projects was the introduction of the Falcon to Australia, and the opening of a new manufacturing plant in Broadmeadows. This photo shows him, second from left, shaking hands with Ford executives. View full size.

When Ford opened its new Broadmeadows plant in suburban Melbourne on 27th January, 1960, it was a big deal. The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. R.G. Menzies, opened the plant at 2:35 pm, and a trailer train tour of the plant followed. A black tie evening dinner party at the Menzies Hotel in Melbourne wrapped up the day. In this photo on the trailer train from left to right are Henry Bolte, premier of the State of Victoria, and his wife; my mother, Betty; Prime Minister Menzies; my father, John McIntyre; and unknown.
