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:

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!)

42wagon: Guess I didn't start a very interesting thread.

Looked today and my '47 has a continuous 3/8 inch wide horizontal "roll" (bead?) along the bottom metal edge of the drivers/passengers window garnish, which one could paint an accent color.

'47 had many changes going on the various assembly plants installed what was in reach. Although my '47 came off the line around August it must have received some left-over '46 or early '47.

Thanks

Interesting. I wonder why our friends with 47s haven't jumped in with info on this one. Maybe it was intended to be done but only got on a few cars?

42wagon: Accidentally stumbled across the 1941-1948 Early Ford V8 Club Book reference to application of cream-colored (accent) paint on Gunmetal gray interior window garnish frames in 1947-1948 Fords. See Page 3-37; first sentence of lower left paragraph.

As I said, my late '47 does not have this feature.

42wagon .... ck'd that photo in book. Of course I don't have four doors but just the same my doors must have had that beading ... gone probably because it was reupholstered. I also notice in the 3-37 photo that my door panels don't have those horizontal seams spaced about 4 inches o.c.

I'll have the door panels off this summer to adjust my glass channels and I can have a local shop make-up some beading. Never going to be "concourse" but it fun to restore some of these little things as the opportunities arise.

Thanks for your help in figuring this out. dan

Take a look at the picture on page 3-37 of the 41 to 48 Ford book. At the top of the upholstery panel just below the window molding as a stripe or bead. I think this may be what they are talking about when they talk about "cream bead". Do you have this between your upholstery panels and moldings?

42wagon .... Thanks. That they stated a color name for the "bead" implied to me that it was exposed-to-view. I had the two rear seat hinged vent windows apart and found nothing hidden. On the other hand, the car was reupholstered and whoever did that may have discarded something they deemed unnecessary. Regardless, I was just comparing the "book" to what I see.

I think you are reading too much into the description in the 41-48 Ford book. Please note that it says "bead" not stripe.

I'm going way out on a limb here but I think they are talking about a fabric bead much like the welting at the windshield frame. See the drawing on page 3-18 part no 7003126. Also this shows up in the pictures on pages 3-5 thru 3-9.

This bead or welting probably went between the window molding and the upholstery panel.

Just a guess on my part and I probably will be corrected by someone much more knowledgeable.

Don .... Thanks for your response and sorry for my omission; should have noted: I have a '47 super deluxe sedan coupe (shown in my avatar). I found the reference to the cream colored bead strip on window moldings in "The 1941-48 Ford Book" published by The Early Ford V8 Club of America .... in Chapter 3 - Interiors .... page 3-13; 1947-48 Super DeLuxe Closed Cars; Door & Quarter Window Moldings .... and page 3-17; Summary Listing; at Name of Color "Cream" and "Gray Methallic".

For 1935 and 36 there was no pin striping on interior garnish mouldings. What year is your Ford and what Early Ford Book are you refering to???

My Early Ford V8 book says the interior metal gun-metal gray colored window frames should have a cream-colored strip on them. The gun-metal gray finish is original but lacks the cream colored stripping. Just a production anomaly ?
