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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

Update....
I am not a paid member as yet, but of course will become one once I make the purchase of either the 41 in discussion or I find my preference which is a 40 or 41 Coupe (with opera seats).
So, will probably will need some help in making contact with Mr. Davis.
Thanks again.

That would be great if you could provide. I am at loss with anyone I know down there so your recommendation would be appreciated.
As mentioned, my wife and I are flying to Oakland then driving down to Turlock on Tuesday to view the Ford.
If your friend is available and close by in Modesto, that would be perfect.I am new to the forum, so not sure, other than search how to find Mr. Davis. I might have to get back to you if stumbling.
Thanks for the reply.

sthielwcd3, if you are a V-8 Club member check your roster for Terry Davis in Modesto. Modesto is only 15-20 minutes from Turlock. Terry is a long time member and is very knowledgeable about Ford V-8's. If you are not a member send a private message to my inbox and I will give you Terry's number. I don't put people's numbers on websites unless I know it is O.K. with them.

I bought a 50 Ford once only from pictures and found out that it was not as advertised. If you are a member of the EFV8 Club look in your roster to find someone in the Turlock area and contact them. I have done this several times with great results. I always offer to pay for their time and gas but they have all offerred to do it for free. You might also see if the seller of the car is an EFV8 member. If so ask if the car has recieved a Dearborn award. This would give you an idea how authentic it is. Finally, depending on the above, take the time to drive down and see it. I also live in WA and, when $24,000 is involved a few days trip to Turlock is a reasonable investment.

I don't know any appraisers in Turlock, but Ralph Hubbard from Pasadena, Ca is very knowledgeable about the early Fords. Maybe one of the CA guys can provide his business address and phone number.
