My friend's father had this dog forever and not sure what car it goes on. Asked me if I wanted it. Anybody know anything about it. There is a small threaded hole in the bottom but no numbers. The tail is not attached.

Undoubtedly, the greyhound-encabulator had reached a very high level of technical development. It had been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration. Nice dog!

The dog (Part# 40-18385) was a Ford authorized accessory for the 1934 Model year only. The one you have pictured is an after-market and looks to be made for the 1936 Ford.

Stroker, You forgot it's most important function as a framistan adjuster for the correct blivet clearance from the chingothis! This message was edited by MG on 4-1-11 @ 10:52 AM

Moxie, I believe that MG is correct that your dog is not an original '34 Ford accessory, as it lacks the large radiator cap base. I hadn't known there were any repops made with stand-alone tails, however. The Lincoln dog, I think, has more pronounced ribs than the Ford dog, but your dog's ribs seem more of an afterthought and not as nicely detailed. I'm not a dog expert, just my recollections from deep among the spider webs. Someone else may have fewer spider webs than I. Alan

is the dog anatomically correct? Mrs Ford made Henry change the original greyhound to be "not so crude" when seen in public

Ha! I never heard that one! Alan, Happy April Fools' Day! Btw, I think the dog was first on the Lincoln, so that would have been Edsels prerogative, wouldn't it? Alan

At the San Diego Auto Museum, we have a 1934 Lincoln Town Car which has an original greyhound. The tail is very skinny and the dog IS anatomically correct--a boy!! As someone mentioned, the base screws on to the top of the radiator and the dog tilts back on a heavy hinge which lets you put water in the radiator. I have a 36 Ford with aftermarket dog (tail attached to the back leg). To make it more realistic, I used a fine bladed hacksaw and separated tail from leg and then finished it off with some jewelry files.Looks pretty good but not original. I I knew how to do it, Iwould send a photo.
