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!)

1934 Ford,

Your comment is very carefully worded, but let's not mislead the audience to think that every accessory available at a Ford dealer at that time was a Ford-authorized accessory. The first Ford-authorized fender skirts were those for the 1937 model year. Those on your '34 are aftermarket Gar Wood skirts.

1934Ford... The original poster expressed clearly that he wants "correct".
He can, as you suggest, paste whatever he'd like on his car. After all, it is his car.

Paul, Go ahead and put it on the 36 if you like it. I have a 1934 Fordor with a greyhound, fender skirts and a luggage rack.
All where available at the Ford Dealers in 1934.. If I had purchased this car in 1934, it would have been at a Ford Dealer, not
at the factory.
Now you can enjoy having people ask you if it's a Jaguar. When I learned that they identified the Greyhound as Jaguar,
I would look at the friends of the person asking and say, "I hope you don't go hunting with this guy , because he doesn't
know a cat from dog, that's a Greyhound Dog and this car is a 1934 Ford"

1934 Ford's since 1972

I'd purchased a very nice 36 roadster last year and it was equipped with the greyhound and came with an additional NOS greyhound. While I like them, like you, I wanted authentic and correct.
Both the one on the car and the NOS one have moved on.

Rest assured, you are not alone

Thank you all for your efforts to answer my question. I would never have guessed it would have been Canadian. I have verified my car was built in Detroit so as cool as the greyhound is I'll stay with the V8 hood ornament I have. Thank you all.

MG-

I see your point but from another page of the ad (below), it seems that the objects mentioned are a lig factory option. Also in the ad, it makes a reference to a "special factory interior." I doubt if a dealer would be interested in removing an entire interior to replace it with a new special interior. As for proof of the manufacturing origin, that would be easy to verify. The serial would start off with a "C"

Tom - Where's the Canadian Ford part number? It could still be an after market offering. If it is legit, Paul would still have to prove that his '36 is of Canadian manufacture in order for his car to be correct with the dog installed....

Enclosed is a factory Canadian ad. The ad suggests that it was a factory installed item.

After looking through the club 35-36 restoration book, Greyhounds are "not" covered in the accessory section of the book THUS I would say that though the Greyhound might have been sold via the dealership.....it was NOT a Ford authorized accessory for 1935 (I know) and appears 1936 either!!!
