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:

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!)

What do you mean, "In your face". Looks to me like Chevrolet was talking about Chrysler's Airflow while still building a old style car.
If I was a Chevy guy, I'd switch to a Chrysler or Desoto Airflow if "streamlining" was that important.
Otherwise, the 36 Ford seemed more streamlined than the Chevrolet in 1936.

1936 CHEVROLET
I have to put my 3 cents in on this one,
do you know that the CHEVOLETS has wood door jams holding the doors on? were FORD was all metal, which do you think is stronger, ? wood or steel ?
they used a lot of wood, a old friend of mine said he father used to junk cars,
when a CHEVY came in you opened the doors and could pull the car apart , when a FORD came in you had to get the cutting torch, that's a fact,
that 36 CHEVY might be nice but a 36 FORD had it all over it in design, and LOOKS,
I am in favor of 37 FORDS even more,
Do not get me wrong they are both nice,
like they say, everybody has their own choices.
see which one brings more money,
I am certain, there will ne more comments on this,,,,
my 3 cents 37RAGTOPMAN
I enclosed a picture to compare to,

So, you like 1936 streamlined cars made of metal? How about the most expensive car in the world made in 1936 - the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vk16a8Cp1A

Or, compare the new lines of a '49 Ford to those of this '49 Delahaye: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8qUG0e4psw&feature=player_embedded

Eat your heart out!

I know that taste is very subjective, but I prefer the American styled and made Ford over the Bugatti or the Delehaye. As my "Pappy" said, just because it is expensive it doesn't have to be good.

I think that the French wines have pickled the minds of the French and they come up with the weirdest vehicles made.
