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!)

Lately I've seen several unrestored '34 black cars that have Vermillion striping. The color charts seen to indicate Tacoma Cream as the striping/wheel colors. I assume(?)the wheel color for deluxe cars with a Vermillion stripe would be Aurora Red. Thank you.

Here is another black '34 with red wheels and stripes. The fenders, wheels and stripes have been repainted, but most of the body is, I believe, original paint. I too have wondered about the books that say only Tacoma Cream stripes and wheels on black '34 cars.

The V-8 Club's 33-34 book does indicate that tacoma cream was the stripe that went with the black car. With old Fords you cannot make statements that use the words "always" and "never". I suspect that if someone wanted to order a black 34 ford and wanted red wheels and a red stripe the dealer would do whatever was possible to make the sale.

Tom, I'll take that theory a step farther: I would not be surprised if certain successful dealers were routinely able to place advance orders for some relatively inconsequential variances such as a stripe color. At the same time, I'd also caution anyone who might wish to run with this notion that any undocumented variance will most definitely result in a point deduction on the Concourse. It's one thing to speculate, and quite another to show your proof.

Perhaps one of the Ford plants bought too much Vermillion paint in 1933 when Vermillion trim was used on black Deluxe cars. If so, they might have had to use it up before switching to Tacoma Cream.

Al, you're right about documentation, but I would think that a nice "Rouge" car with original paint would have to be accepted as correct.
