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: Tool kit:

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.
