Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

The car has a hot water heater and another heater that works off an exhaust heat exchanger. It also has defrost.

Original interior: The correct glove box is in an envelope - anyone need a deluxe door?

Thanks for the welcome. The wiring is aged - but the previous owner included a new harness. I do intend to try for a Rouge award - here are a few more photos:

Thanks Ken for correcting my post. I forgot about the change in the Roster and could not find the Judging Instructions on the website.

Agshelby,

Congratulations on finding an excellent survivor. Original, unmolested Early Ford vehicles are among the most popular at Early Ford V-8 Club meets.

A couple of clarifications. First, the Rouge judging instructions are no longer located in the Roster of Members. They ARE available on this website. On the left side, click on National Club Information, then Forms. Click on National Judging Manual to open a PDF form describing all vehicle classes at Early Ford V-8 Club meets. On page 7 you will find complete guidelines for the Rouge (original) Division.

Also note item "M" regarding wiring. The Rouge guidelines allow you to replace, without penalty, the "minimum amount of wiring" to ensure dependable operation and drivability. Replacement of the entire wiring harness is discouraged. However, it is your car and you will need to make the judgement as to how much of the wiring you need to replace for safety.

Enjoy your find!

Ken

I love your Cloudmist Gray coupe. It reminds me of the one that I had back in 1950 -1951. It also was an low mileage survivor with 15,000 miles when I bought it as the second owner.

I also own a Rouge car, a 1953 Lincoln Capri Coupe. It had 38,500 when I bought it.

In the front of the Roster are the rules for judging a Rouge car. Read them every time that you want to change or improve something. Doing so will prevent you from doing something that will eliminate your car from the Rouge class.

After those cautions, most people in the Early Ford V-8 Club believe that an owner can do anything he wants to his car as long as he doesn't mind the consequences in judging the car.

Tom
