The company I work for is quoting on parts for vehicles that will start in model year 2007. The life of these programs are 4 to 5 years. I hate to burst anyones bubble but if Henry Ford where to somehow time travel to the year 2012, he would recognize almost every part on the car as something he put on a Model T almost 100 years ago.

Eleven years ago I was a chassis design engineer. My oldest drawing of a current part was released in the 1930s, I think it was 1936. Part number was B60 (I think), a steel wheel nut.
Oh, and we are kicking things around (in a very general sense) for the 2010 car, which will have a life of up to 8 years! I wonder if we can we get a B60 released for it?
Cheers
