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!)

I have been unable to find replacement hubcaps for my 1937 Ford. I can buy 1936 hubcaps. I realize the 1936 caps are not correct for a 1937 car but they would look better than the crummy caps I have on the car. Hopefully someone in the early ford fraternity has the answer!

The answer is to keep looking for what you need. Don't settle for the '36 caps unless you're prepared to answer why you settled. The questions will never end!

Thanks Alan! I have researched all of the regular suppliers. Any ideas where to look?

By regular suppliers, I take it to mean you think there may be some outfit making repop hubcaps. There are those, but the '37, as far as I know, has never been reproduced. You'll have to put down the catalogues and start shopping the swap meets and the Classifieds. Your hubcaps are out there.

Oldad,

Two suggestions. First put your general location in your profile. If you are close I might be able to come up with a set of hub caps. Second enable your private messaging so I can PM you instead of posting. Have you tried an ad in the wanted section, here and on fordbarn.com?

Oldad, I don't know if you can buy anything from the Cracker Barrel chain but there are very good original 37 hubcaps hanging in the rafters of a Louisville store. In fact two stores in that area have enough for a full set. They have very small holes drilled close to the edges to hang them by wires.
I am going to Louisville this weekend ,6/24/12,and will see if they are still there.

There is an ad on Fordbarn right now on the early v8 swap site for 1937 hubcaps. Where I would look for them is on Ebay, I have seen nice ones on there,you have to search everyday 1937 Ford or some people list them under "37 Ford" and check out daily "Flathead Ford" for listings that the seller knows it is Ford but not sure of the year.
