c-gor, Thank you for your response, great information. I need to look further into KY and OH law. These are the two states I typically travel in.

krwilson5, Thank you for providing your input. I procured a copy of the club's 35/36 book upon my summer purchase of the car. What a great reference it has been for restoration thus far. I have seen few standards with respect to all pre-war Ford V8 years. I am looking forward to taking this car back to it's stock configuration. The "second" tail-light was installed in a sloppy manner. If I were to re-do, body work to the fender would ensue prior to mounting the lamp arm. Thanks,

Mr Rogers, Thank you for sharing this info. I may see about installing a similar set up on this car once completed.

For what it is worth. I had a 1940 Ford Standard that was purchased and registered in Ohio. Ohio law stated, at that time, that a vehicle requires one stop/tail light with a reflector. I drove my car for over 50 years with the one tail light that was compulsory by Ohio law. Turn signals were required on all new cars purchased beginning 1/1953. Earlier years were "grandfathered" in.

Hi Jon. it looks like you have scored a very nice 1936 tudor touring sedan and from your description it appears to be a standard with an extra taillight and sun visor, very cool! My wife also has a standard touring sedan we call Rosemary. We have enjoyed Rosemary for nearly twenty-five years driving her to many national meets and displaying her in the Rouge class. We added the second taillight very early on in addition to seat belts for safety sake and we don't feel that we have compromised the car in doing so. I don't remember what the point deduction is for the additional light, if any, but doubt that it would kill the car if the restoration is well executed. It is you car so you can restore it either deluxe or standard and it will be beautiful. Personally I would reinstall the second taillight properly either way. We like the fact that the our car is a standard partially because they are less common at the national meets and because that's the way it came from the factory and who knows just maybe the dealer installed that optional light. There is lots to know about these things, running changes and the like. For instance significant changes to the interior were made around May of 36. If you don't already have it, you really should get a copy of the 1935-36 Early Ford V8 book. Like all the clubs published works is excellent.

I attended a drive-in car show last year. A 30's something car installed turn signals by threading wiring from column to trunk area and attaching mag tized red lights when he would drive the car. No drilled holes, just snuck the wires thru the side trunk lid.
