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!)

My 46 Super Deluxe sedan coupe has the foot rests described in the rear. No problem getting in the way of anything.

Methinks that we are discussing different kinds of footrests. Lincoln's, Cadillac's, Chrysler's, etc. had footrests that were mounted on pedestals behind the front seats. The Ford footrests were simply an angled panel under the rear portion of the front seats. Not really noticeable unless you were seated. So...if you simply opened the rear door and looked in, you would not see them. The "traditional" footrests take up quite a bit of floor space, and were generally only present on longer wheelbase luxury vehicles.

Are you talking about the panel that is fastened to the back of the seat bottom at a 45 degree angle? If so my '48 sedan coupe has it.

I have a '47 Super Deluxe 5-passenger (long-door) Coupe and I don't see how one could put a USEFUL foot bar in one of these. As well, one would have to fold it forward out-of-the-way to get in and out, requiring even more space. Dan

I had a 47 2 door sedan that had foot rests. Never seen them in coupes or convertibles I think because of lack of rear floor space.

I don't recall any of the '41-'48 Fords having foot rests. The Club's wonderful 41-48 book doesn't mention them, and it is a very complete reference.

I have a 1947 Super Deluxe Coupe. I see some of the 1947's models like the Sedans had a rear seat footrest. Was this standard on some models or optional on all models etc.
