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!)

Does anybody know, because they have, or had a crestliner; or from their general knowledge,if the assist staps are covered in vinyl? The previous owner did mine in brown vinyl, which is the same color as the vinyl on the kick panels, and on the door panels.

I have a 1950 Crestliner that Maroon and black. My interior is original and the straps have a maroon center with black around the edge. My Crestliner has a Rouge and Dearborn from the National meet

Here's a paraphrase of Cecil Goff's response in the V-8 Times, Nov/Dec, 2012: Color of material on assist straps on a Sportsman’s Green car? (inside material is black leatherette (vinyl), outside vinyl matches color of upholstery in car, binding is fabric, the same color as the outside vinyl.)

Steve - it would seem you would do well to purchase the 1949 - 1950 - 1951 Ford Book. It should have all the definitive answers you are looking for in this regard (and others!).

I have the 1949-50-51 Passenger manual. Thats a repair manual. I actually have (2) of them; (1) for the house, and (1) for the garage. I think your referrring to the restoration guide, and I have one, just can't locate it.

No Steve - if you click on the provided link you'll see it whisks you off to the restoration guide entitled as I stated. Hope you find yours - good luck!

I found my Restoration Manual, and it says very little about Crestliner hand assist straps or the colors.

I found it and it's the same one that you sent the URL for! Nothing much in it about Crestliner Hand assist straps!
