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!)

How many errors? There was no Ford Phaeton in '39.

If you could find someone who has a set of those hinges maybe you could borrow them to use as patterns to make a set for your car. I had a set of hand made hinges and recently sold them to a guy who lives in Australia. He used them on his car and they work well. It would not be that complicated to make them yourself, and once installed, no one else would know the difference.

The poster could have a 39 phaeton if he lives outside the US. The last US phaeton was 1938, but countries outside the US often continued using those body styles. He may also have a 38 phaeton that is registered as a 39.

I thought that the last hinged rear seat was in 1936. All US made 37 and later cars had access to the trunk from outside of the passenger compartment and therefore the seat did not need to be hinged.

The text says '36 phaeton and if that's correct, those hinges are not unique to the phaeton but rather are common with those used in the slant-back tudor and Fordor sedans of the same vintage (and '35 as well). They're around.

Thanks to all it posting and query. The vehicle is a 1936 Ford Phaeton as featured in the V8 Times Nov/Dec 2011 and the rear seat hinge brackets are missing.
JM. your idea is great but where do I start asking to "borrow" hinges?

I agree with 3w2 that the hinges are the same for all the 35 cars with a moveable rear seat configuration ....and they are out there...let me know your email address and I will see what I can come up with ...I have a 35 Phaeton ...should be the same ...
