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:

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 need help with my car. I have a 1936 Ford Tudor Deluxe that I would like to sell. I just don't know a good price to ask. It was restored by my father and is a three time Dearborn winner. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Bart,
Ask your father's friends the same question. They would know you father's car and possibly people who would be intersted in buying it, as well as it's value.
You can try to get maximum price or just try to find it a good home. I've seen them priced over $30,000 but doubt if they sell in that range. With it's Dearborn Awards, I would think $25,000 would result in a quicker sale.
Remember your dad enjoyed the car and couldn't have one restored for that price, but he probably did his best to make it as perfect as he could. Not many people profit from as restoration these days, especially in this price range. Also others know they can buy them cheaper than doing a restoration, and that makes you dad's car desirable.

I agree with 1934 Ford's advice.In addition you might want to get the car appraised and then check 'completed items" on e-Bay to see the bid numbers onnthe same type of car. I would also run an ad in the V-8 Times as there maybe someone looking for that type of car.Those who read the ads may also have a friend who is looking for a car. The secret to selling is giving the car as much exposure as you can. If you are good with the computer you can also post ads with photos. That really helps sell a car. Without seeing your car I would think it should be priced between $18,000 and 23,000. If it's a tudor "flatback" I would ad an extra $1000 to those figures.

Thank you for the suggestions. Here are a few pictures of the car. My dad is a perfectionist to the nth degree. He has restored 7 cars that I know of. It needs a good home where someone will show it. I'll post a few more pictures after this one.

Thanks again.
