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:

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!)

Gentlemen, good morning!
Forgive, but I can not speak English properly. I'm Brazilian.
I have a 1937 Ford and need to know what is your model. It is a cabriolet? It is cabriolet de luxe? It is a convertible? The number of your chassis is 1-7527385. Please help me know the model so I can buy the top right. Thank you. Roberson Azambuja - Brazil.

The picture actually looks like a roadster. If it is indeed a roadster it will not have roll up windows. Post if it has roll up windows. The chassis number on early Fords never told the model, just when the engine/transmission were built. The number you gave does not match the American system of numbering, it may have been different in Brazil if they manufactured their own engines (I don't know if they did). You should consider buying the club's book on the 1937 Ford, it is excellent. You English is fine, I have seen worse from people raised in this country, don't worry about it and keep posting questions.

If it has roll up windows it is a Cabriolet,
if it has a rumble seat, It is the model # 760-A CABRIOLET
If it has roll up windows and a back seat it is a 760-B
CLUB CABRIOLET.
if it has NO ROLL UP WINDOWS in the doors, it is a ROADSTER,
I enclosed a picture of a 760-A CABRIOLET roll up windows and a rumble seat,
hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN,,,!!!

It does look like a roadster. I saw a nice body for a '37 at the Pate swapmeet years ago. Always regretted not buying it. The tops of the doors are rolled over and distinctive. Very pretty car!

Are the roadsters 750's? Can't remember.

Brazil it looks like a roadster body. There are no slots in the top of the door for a window. The photo shows a light reflection on the smooth top surface and it looks like side curtain snaps on the side of the door. G.M.
