Gentlemen As a new member I would firstly like to say h*llo from across the pond. Having searched the classic car magazines and the web for over five years I finally found my dream classic in LI New York, a 1937 Ford Fordor Model 78 Deluxe which I believe is a outstanding example of this beautiful car. The good news is she arrived safely in the UK in January the not so good news is I know nothing about this vehicle from a maintenance, restoration perspective. My question is simple where do I start with literature to educate myself. Chris B

Chris, start with two books. 1) The 1937 Ford book that has been put out by the Early Ford V-8 club of America. It can be purchased on the front page of this site form the "Online Store".2) The Ford Service Bulletins from 1932-1937. This book can be purchased from the various V-8 Ford parts vendors or may be available on Amazon. Also consider joining the Early Ford V-8 Club. You can join on the front page of this site under "membership". Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum.

Thank you...........I have joined the club and will purchase as per your suggestions, I was very lucky to have a boot full (trunk) of spares and some manuals but not but for sure not a 1937 Ford book.

MG- Ah not that difficult. This was taken at the Brooklands Winter Breakfast meet, a local petrol heads show and shine. She caused quite a stir there are not many 37s in the UK and even fewer in my part of town, I most probably have the only one. First time out on UK roads it was a fun driving experience.

TuscanS - You should be proud as that's a beautiful '37 you have. Ford's answer to 'Art Deco'....

TuscanS - FYI - Ford labeled the body style of your car as 'Touring Sedan'....
