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 just sold my original 36 Cabriolet. It started at $69,000.00 about 3 years ago! Dropped it about 5K at a time. Had advertised on E-Bay, Craig's List and Hemmings. You just have to be patient and wait for the right buyer. I did not have to sell mine either, but the wife would no longer ride in the car. Just too bumpy. I sold the car at one of the largest car shows in the nation "Back to the 50's!" I sold it for $55,000.00. The price has dropped tremendously for 30 and 40 automobiles. I felt very fortunate to get what I did.

I decided it was time to hand over my '47 convertible after 25 years so someone else could enjoy it. The market for collector cars is very flat, and appears to be still falling. Many are selling far below the initial investment and cost of restoration. I checked the NADA book for a look at the market for similar cars, and set my asking price well below the bottom.

A beautiful maroon'34 cabriolet just crossed the auction block at Mecum in Monterey for $39,000. I am amazed it went that low. A few years ago it would have been at least 60K.
I will be selling off everything i have a little at a time now.

Looks like a $35,000-$40,00 car to me. Higher if a solid original Ford to somebody who wants a good tour car, it's great for that.

1934 Ford's since 1972

Looks pretty nice. I bet a lot of guys would love to have it. Me, for instance, but I couldn't afford it.

Bill---

That's a NICE Cabriolet!

How many people have you talked to over the years - "well. I used to own a 1931 Henrymobile, but I sold it. I sure wish I still had that car."

I agree with Tom - if you don't need to sell it - don't! It doesn't eat much, doesn't take up much space, and gives its proud owner a lot of happiness.

Happy summertime cruising in your beautiful Cabriolet.

Tom

Happy Cruising in your beautiful car, my friend.

Bill, if you have had it a long time it's always tough to give up. If you don't need to sell it, maybe stop and think about it some more. Like me it's hard to look at an empty spot in the garage.
