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!)

Do you know where is possible found information about it. The VIN number is

We really apreciate your comments.

Thanks

Per Mac Van Pelt's website, that serial number would be for a 1947 Ford.

The most obvious differences visually are the 1946 has red stripes in all it's exterior chrome stripes and in the grille. There are some early 1947 that share this. Underneath, the shock absorbers are tubes on a late 1947 and 1948s. There is also a antiroll bar or track bar on the front of a 1948. The hubcaps are block letter and blue paint on a 1948 and red stripes and script letters on a 1946. There is a script Ford text in an oval in the middle of a 1946 rear bumper. Differences in heaters are not so year specific. Hood ornament or no and what it looks like, a bird or a streamlined locomotive with smoke is another difference with variations along the way.

Las diferencias más obvias visualmente son que la 1946 tiene rayas rojas en todas sus rayas cromadas exteriores y en la rejilla. Hay algunos principios de 1947 que comparten esto. Debajo, los amortiguadores son tubos a finales de 1947 y 1948. También hay una barra antiroll o barra de orugas en la parte delantera de un 1948. Los tapacubos son letra de bloque y pintura azul en un 1948 y rayas rojas y letras de guión en un 1946. Hay un texto Ford de guión en un óvalo en medio de un parachoques trasero de 1946. Las diferencias en los calentadores no son tan específicas de un año. El adorno de la capucha o no y lo que parece, un pájaro o una locomotora aerodinámica con humo es otra diferencia con variaciones en el camino.

Die mees ooglopende verskille visueel is die 1946 het rooi strepe in al is dit buite Chrome strepe en in die sierrooster. Daar is 'n paar vroeë 1947 wat dit deel. Onder, die skok skokbrekers is buise op 'n laat 1947 en 1948s. Daar is ook 'n antiroll bar of Track bar aan die voorkant van 'n 1948. Die hubcaps is blok letter en blou verf op 'n 1948 en rooi strepe en Script letters op 'n 1946. Daar is 'n Script Ford teks in 'n ovaal in die middel van 'n 1946 agter buffer. Verskille in verwarmers is nie so jaar spesifiek. Hood ornament of Nee en hoe dit lyk, 'n voël of 'n vaartbelynde lokomotief met rook is nog 'n verskil met variasies langs die pad.

The early '47 cars used parts from 1946, so they look like '46 models. Your friend should purchase the V-8 Club's 1941-1948 book as it has a lot of information that your friend can use. The book can be purchased on the front page of this website by going to the "online store".
