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've answered your private email as best I can, Rick.

Tom O has mentioned contacting the EFV8 Club Advisor. That's an excellent suggestion.

For 1949-1951 Ford, that would be Cecil Goff in Florida. His contact information appears on page 95 of the November December 2015 V8 Times.

As a matter of interest for you and other members, a 1949 and 1950 Mercury Meteor clock delete emblem appears in the photo above this response. It is identical in size to the 1949 and 1950 Ford clock delete emblems, and was made to fit into a 1949 or 1950 Ford dashboard. Meteors were manufactured by Ford of Canada with a Ford body, but were sold by Canadian Mercury dealers so that they had the benefit of being able to market a lower-priced passenger car rather than being restricted to selling only the more expensive "real" Mercury.

Thanks. If the clock was standard in a Custom Deluxe the delete plate pictured on the red background in the above post is what I should be looking for.

The clock was standard in the Custom Deluxe.

I would check with the V-8 Club's 1949-1951 Adviser about this. As you have found out there are few Deluxe cars restored and a lot of them had the clock.

I'm assuming that a clock delete for a 1950 Deluxe is painted. I've never actually seen one. I've looked at pictures on the internet and every one of the cars has a clock. A member sent me a picture of this delete plate. Does anybody know if this style delete was used in a Deluxe? I assumed it was used in a Custom Deluxe because it has the same stylized automobile that is on the trim panel. Can anyone tell me what belongs in a Deluxe? Thanks.

Is the clock delete for a 1950 Deluxe painted the same brown color as the instrument panel? Also, were all of the Deluxe models from 1949,50 and 51 painted the same shade of brown or beige? I have a Deluxe with a clock. I'm pretty sure it was added at a later date to dress the car up. There is a NOS clock delete on eBay now and I was wondering if it was correct for my car. The paint appears to have too much metal flake compared to my mint. unfaded original instrument panel but the difference in color may be a result of the camera used. I really do not know what an original 1950 Deluxe clock delete looks like. Thanks in advance.
