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 a Standard 38 coupe with V-60 and trying to locate an envelope for the original owners manual which I have. I plan on making one myself understanding they are not reproduced but looking for the exact detail that would be printed on the face of the envelope and size-location of letters. Appreciate photo of an envelope should you have one or any specifics you may have. Thanks / John

I dont have one, but I am pretty sure that they are just like the 85hp ones --- except instead of the V-8 85hp --- it's V-8 60hp.
So, if you can find someone with an 85hp envelope, you basically have the layout and information for the 60hp one.
I know this doesn't get you what you want, but you now know they are similar.

John, Did you purchase that manual I spotted for you?
I am 100% certain the envelopes are quite different "standard" vs "deluxe".
Perhaps someone out there has one that can send you a photocopy of?
I have made envelopes for the 1940 models. You ARE certainly on the right track!
Good luck!

Mike,
Yes, I did purchase the manual, thanks and that would be great if someone provided a photocopy of a "Standard V-60 owners manual envelope. On page 3-56 of the 38/39 Ford Book, there is a photo of a 39 DeLuxe envelope. I don't think they indicated the engine size - 85/60 ?????? Can anyone assist?

They are reproduced. Bob Drake offers a 1938 Ford Owner's Manual Envelope for Three Dollars.

The envelope Drake sells is a generic version and will NOT be acceptable on the concourse.

Here's a copy of the envelope for a 39 standard. The '38 standard is the same with the exception of the year(number)and perhaps the color.
Note the printing in the upper - left corner is the same as the deluxe manual. The big difference is the lower - left corner printing.

Thanks Tony but 'Drakes' reproduction envelope is the wrong size, incorrect wording and wrong font type. I'm looking for a photocopy of a members 1938 Standard Ford 'envelope'. My car is a V-60 and don't know if that was identified on such envelope.
Thanks again for responding.

Mike,
Thanks.....this is just what I needed. Question, what are the actual envelope dimensions and can you tell me the font size (height) of each line of script. Thanks very much for your time on this.

Take a photo of the one that Kube posted and then take it to any good printer and they can easily match the Font and spacing. Just bring the correct envelope.

For me personally, it is not a big deal about the size of the Drake's envelope. I use the 1948 Drake Envelope to actually hold my 1937 owner's manual--fits in the glove box nice. Not interested in points--just an envelope for my manual.

Good luck. I hope you can find what you are looking for.
