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:

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!)

Hi Rick:
The side curtain rods for the 1935 Phaeton were the same as for the 1936 Phaeton. The part numbers are as follows:
48-714920...front door rod, R.H. front
48-714921....front door rod, L.H. front
48-755434...front door rod, R.H. rear
48-755435...front door rod, L.H. rear
48-755438....rear door rod, R.H. front
48-755439...rear door rod, L.H. front
48-755440...rear door rod, R.H. rear
48-755441...rear door rod, L.H. rear

The base part numbers were the same as for 1937 and 1938 Phaetons, but the prefix was "78" instead of '48" for these years so the 37 and 38 Phaeton rods were probably a different design than the 35 and 36 rods. The Benson Ford research library may have the original drawings for the above part numbers but they will cost $30 per drawing...if you inquire they may have all the part numbers under one drawing. Finding used rods and even reproduction rods will be difficult as none of the big part suppliers advertise them for 35 and 36. You will just have to keep your eyes open on eBay, etsy, or forums and send e-mail inquiries to companies and individuals that have stocks of unadvertised parts. Good luck.

Back in the late 80's, Dearborn Hi-Pointe re-created the 1937 side curtain rods. So, there were some 1937 sets re-manufactured.
Have to agree with BRL, there maybe some out there -- but don't expect them to come knocking at your door.

Good luck.
