FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I am new to the board with my first early V8 ford. A 1937 ford deluxe fordor It is a nice drivable car and I am anxiously learning all about it. Would someone please describe the light switch positions on the center of the steering wheel? I just got the car and am ordering an owners manual so i do not have any reference material yet. Thanks

I too do not have an Reference Guide for 1937 Fords in front of me, but the tabs - if straight up and down are lights off. The tabs rotate to the left or right -- these positions turn on the parking lights, the head lights and the high beams.
I know that there are two clicks one way or the other, but not sure (without the Reference Guide).
Once you get that, you will be surprised with all the information that it will supply for you.
Hope this helps somewhat. I am sure a 1936, 1937, 1938 owner will add to this.
Good luck with your vehicle and enjoying it.

Since you are a new 37 Ford owner you should also purchase the V-8 Club's 1937 Ford book. You can purchase the book from the front page of this site and it will give you all the information a new owner should have on their 37 Ford.

Hi Krypton,
I just purchased a 37 Fordor Deluxe also, yet to be shipped to me. Perhaps we can share photo's etc. along the way. Mine is fairly original, in storage since early 80's.
My other car is a Sedan Delivery. Probably never will be able to finish its restoration due to lack of parts, so it sits 80% complete.
Thanks,
Gregg
