Topic: Can Anyone Tell Me What This Is?

  Hi there,

I was going through a bunch of parts that were from 1939 Fordor Deluxes. I came across this thing and can't seem to locate where a duplicate of it might be on my car. It looks like some sort of grille assembly with perhaps a hood latch, but I am pretty sure its not from a '39 Ford Deluxe.

I am looking to sell some stuff on Ebay including this thing. I wasn't sure how to list it besides WhatIsIt? ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  I wasn't sure how to post multiple images, other than in this way through multiple replies...

  It appears to be the front seat adjustment. Just checked my 40 and it looks just like it.

  No question about it. The part you have is the seat adjusting mechanism for the front seat. The one in my 42 is similar but no doubt Henry changed them from year to year.

  The seat is bolted to this mechanism which is bolted to the floor. Look under your seat.

  I see, said the Blindman!

I didn't do this restoration, so I never saw this part under the seat until you steered me there. Its an extra and takes up a lot of space, and I don't really need it kicking around anymore.

Thank-you very much Wolfie, Ted & Richard! You guys are great. All the guys on this site are for that matter...

  Don't throw it away. Put it in the ad section and sell it. I often see ads from folks looking for tht part.

  Exactly, good advice Ken. I was looking to figure out what the heck this thing was so I could properly describe it, so I can sell it. Thanks!
