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!)

Thanks Alan, It does have a green pinstripe along the beltline, but it is not visible in the photo. The upholstery was completely redone with a Cartouche kit and it looked fantastic, but water seeped in, as well as cats and it has molded and needs to be totally ripped out and redone.
I do have a couple of the Reference and spec books that came with a 1936 Ford that are still in pretty good shape.
Thanks for your help.
I will keep the forum updated on it's progress

Based on what I can see in one side view picture, what I believe you have is a 1936 standard model tudor (flatback/slantback) sedan. Model number/Vehicle Legend number would be 68-70A.

If you could post some additional pictures of front end, rear end, interior, dash, and engine compartment, we could better confirm if it is a standard vs. deluxe model, although I am almost certain it is a standard. Although the stainless strip on the running board looks good (I think), they would not normally be on this model as it came from the manufacturing plant.

Your Ford is a 1936 Tudor Sedan. Model 68-70A, known as a Tudor slant back. You'll see that the grill is painted, it has one tail light, one windshield wiper, and a black painted windshield frame. Differences in the interiorwill also confirm that your Ford is a Standard model rather than a DeLuxe model. Some of the DeLuxe features may have been installed at one point in its history. Your car has been taken care of nicely, considering its model and age. You have later sealed beam headlights installed, a peep mirror accessory, and white wall tires, Your car has been repainted at some point, but did not recieve a new pin stripe along the belt line as was original.

I would suggest that you consider purchasing the 35-36 Book published by the EFV8CA, available on this site as well as many vintage Ford suppliers. This book will prove to be invaluable to you in learniong about your Ford. Join the Club also! The Roster of Members will show others in your vicinity with your same model, who will have insights into whatever problems you might encounter.

I recently shipped this 1936 Ford from upstate NY to my home in CA. I am about to have it looked at and get an estimate as to what needs to be done to bring it back to road ready. I am not sure of the Model. It has 5 windows, but it's not a 5-window coupe. It's not a hump-back or slant-back as far as I can tell. How many different body styles did they make that year? Is it just a tudor?
Any help is appreciated
