He went out of his way to make sure that each car was judge as it should be. when the book is done it will be something each 40 Ford must have.I do look forward in reading the book when done because it will be done correct.I look forward in working with him again.

This is a volunteer job, unpaid, a work of love. It is also a job that is actually never done, as new research constantly causes revisions. If you have input toward the book, I'm sure that Mike Kubarth, the lead author, would appreciate your assistance. You may post to him directly on the "New 1940 Ford Book" Forum.

They are losing money on this not being done. Kenneth M. Stewart TomO 01-25-2011 @ 9:20 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 7256 Joined: Oct 2009 After further research, I came to the conclusion that I was mis-informed about the fog lights and the ones that I described are the 1940 lights. I bought them many years ago and after buying them was told that they were not for the 1940 cars, they were for the 38-39 cars. Thank you 40Coupe and Mike for setting me straight. Tom Stroker 01-23-2011 @ 7:47 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1460 Joined: Oct 2009 I bought a pair of the previously described Drake reproductions in the mid-seventies for my 38 Wagon. At the time, I thought they were a little "pricey", but the quality was outstanding. 40 Coupe 01-23-2011 @ 4:47 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1678 Joined: Oct 2009 Ford started using the Unity fog light with the Ford script stamped directly into the top of the light housing around 1/27/38. so for 1939 production it was probbly the only fog light left on the dealers shelf. the glass lens is prismatic and marked 9065 "Unity Mfg. Co." under that it is marked "Chicago" The last time I looked Unity was still in business. for 39 the bulb is a #2330 headlight bulb but the bulb socket has only one of the filaments wired. The brackets are three piece ( this is a correction to my previous posting) 37RAGTOPMAN 01-22-2011 @ 2:50 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1962 Joined: Oct 2009 kubes40 if you want to judge a car as it left the factory, or as it left the dealer is two different ways, leaving the factory is the way it should be judged. leaving the dealer opens many hours of debates. if you put it on the car, besure to have the original papers to show it is original to your car, or loose points, this is the rule I go by, is this original is that original,someone will always have a opinon, and let you know it, there is a lot of additions as the car was made even some of the accessories were not availible when the car was made and came out later in that year, a SEPT car could be a lot different then a APRIL car, I tried when I restored my 37 to use all FORD ORIGINAL parts on it as much as I could.and also the original color, that I liked versus the original color it came in, this is my 3 cents worth taken with a grain of salt, YES some of these questions could be asked in different terms, I think some people asking questions should join the club and get the V8 TIMES, also the UNITY FOG LIGHTS , JOBLOT SELLS are around $175.00 or so and are a good value,NICE CHROME, I would not put on a early FORD for judging, but I will just for the extra light, 37RAGTOPMAN, and KEEP on FORDIN,,,,,!!
