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!)

Thanks, that makes sense. As for value, I have seen these wheels with horn ring bring 75 to 100 dollars or more at swap meets depending on condition.

cliftford, in looking at the bracket real close it appears someone may have cut and bent the bracket to remove it from the dash. I can't tell by the photo, but the hole for the ignition switch may have been modified for a different (replacement) switch.

The 1941-48 Ford (EarlyFordV-8Club) book on page 3-22 shows only the 1947-48 horn ring center ornament as being the only one with the wings and striped keystone as being the same silver color in all the other pictures on this page the keystone is red. Page 3-19 shows the difference between the ignition switch mounts in Figure 3-17 and 3-18.

Something still looks funny. I don't recall that the bracket had a square hole for the switch. And what is that flat piece sticking up? Someone enlighten me.

Great observation in regard to the ignition. I should have caught that.

That brown horn button is 48?

It's late '48 passenger car. The steering column to dash mount is the non locking column with the hole for the ignition switch. The steering wheel and horn ring/button are also '48

There are most certainly guys out there that know a lot more than I do about post war Fords. That being said, I think the wheel is 46 - 48 passenger car, the horn ring 42-48 passenger car and the horn button 41 passenger car.
What say the experts?

It looks like a 42-48 ford car to me, except that bracket doesn't look right.
