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.

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!)

I just found out that that Ford only made 127,260 11a models in 1941. I have a 1941 Ford Deluxe Business Coupe(original) and I'm trying to find out how many Deluxe Business Coupes were produced out of all the 11a models. Can any one help me? Thanks, Todd.

Carcrazy, thanks for the info, I know mine is the 3 passenger coupe with the shelf behind the seat. I never heard of the 77a model. Mine comes up as an 11a model and do you know how many 3 passenger coupes like mine were built out of that 11a model? Thanks.

Woody, Carcrazy has told you that your car is a 77A, which is the code for your body style. If you had jump seats instead of a package shelf, it would be a 67A. There were 33,598 11A-77A Fords built. 11A is the code for the year model 1941.

If that is correct, just what is the model number of the 5 pass coupe? I thought the 67 series were 3 pass coupes and the 77 series were 5 pass coupes containing a back seat . I think the jump seats only went in bus coupes. Both series were made in deluxe and super deluxe. I think the 67 series were called short door coupes and the 77 series were long door coupes.
They both had package trays. Does anyone have more info?
Thanks
Dick

Dick, the Sedan Coupe was a Super DeLuxe in 1941. It had a narrow back seat. The code was 11A-72B. The Business Coupe, sometimes called the Opera Coupe if it had jump seats, was the 67 series. The 77 series had no back seat of any kind.

Ford38v8, Thanks so much for the info. Yes, mine is a 5 passenger, short doors, business coupe with the shelf behind the seat. I've seen those coupes with the jump seats and mine doesn't have them. Thanks so much. I wonder how many of the 41's like mine are still out there??? Thanks again.
