This cache is not at the posted coords,so using a formula from A- to -E try to come up with the answer.
A= At what age did Henry Ford leave home to work in Detroit?
B= The third digit of the year the first Model T was built.
C= Using the last Two digits. What year did Ford advertise the debut of the Galaxie 500 LTD as quieter than a Rolls Royce?
D= In 2006 Ford Motors mortgaged all it's assets to raise money to finance product development until the end of 2009,to the nearest Billion how much did they mortgage for?
E= Using the last digit, what year did Ford first build the F-1 truck?
F= In the early years Ford Motors was producing a lot of cars for the US market by the end of 1919, using these two digits what percent of all the cars built was made by Ford?
Using this legend:
A=XX B=Y C=ZZ D=MM E=N F=OO
Now if you use the following formula of:
N 46-XX.YZZ--- ---W 063-MM.NOO
This will give you the proper coords.
