  1. Im speaking about this Model 46 quoted in this article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1932_Ford @1937hd45 There have been a Model 40 but also a Model 46 around the same time, that's correct. I've found several information on this Model 40, but nothing on the 46 BTW thank you for the facebook group you quoted to me, I'm gonna visit it 👍 @46 woodie & @Paul Dobbin Thank you for your redirection to the Ford V-8 Club! I'm gonna ask my questions around here. There must be a general confusion between Type and Model, as this is not really clear on each piece of information I've found over the internet.
  2. Hey there, I'm looking for historical information on the Ford Model 46, which has been produced from 1933 to 1934. Informations like : History of the car, production numbers, technical specifications... There is not much information on that car available. Do you know where I could find these? Any books to recommend? Contacts? Thank you
  3. Hi there, Last week I've designed in a couple of hours a list of classic car renovation tutorials. I thought it could have been a great idea to have an easy website to look for renovation contents : just by entering a make and a model. This went quite well, when I shared this website on my social medias, I received a lot of feedback. Do you also have some feedback to give to me? Here a the direct link to the list : http://renovate.everycars.co And here are my next steps/ideas: - Adding more tutorials : reaching 5000 videos could be great, - Diversify sources : not only youtube but also websites, articles, forums, - Propose a dropdown menu for models instead of a search input : it will help find the right spelling, - Display a preview of the content : picture or screenshot, - Setup and automatic email for me when someone add a new video to validate, - Engage more with people who subscribed to my newsletter, - And so what? All the best, Piem
  4. Hey there, This subject is reeeeaaaally old, but still a great question I'm asking myself about every day. When you are looking for a great classic car database with true great informations, it's really really difficult to find...! That's why I've began to work on a simple database for classic car, it's a work in progress, and I assume this work will never be finished! If you want to contribute or give me some great feedback, do not hesitate! Here is the link : search.everycars.co
  5. Good point @joe_padavano : This comparison should be done considering the same number of miles drived with an old car or an actual one
  6. @padgett Great observation : Restoring an old car could also involve many transportations! Transportation for a piece ordered in another city or country for example. This is a carbon cost, great point I'm gonna add this to my original message
  7. @TTR Understood, but try to give a try : what could be a great reasoning in front of someone pretending that an actual car as less impact (carbon footprint for example) than a Classic or Antique? Do you think this discussion will 100% of the time give truth to actual cars? Or are they any chances to find some great ideas to prove reverse?
  8. Hi there, First post for me on this AACA forum, and glad to begin with a first question/interrogation I have in mind for a couple of days. I'm wondering if we could find a great reasoning in order to justify or blame my title question. In what way are Antique and Classic cars better for the planet than an actual produced car ? - Comparison should be done on the total carbon footprint : from production day 1 and worth comparison for the same amount of miles detailed with an old car or an actual one (Great point from @joe_padavano) If we consider that: (Antique & Classics are better for the planet) - A car already produced years ago has already compensated her own impact on environment: no need to produce some more cars. - I have the feeling that materials used for building Antique or classic cars were higher quality (steel, leather) than today (plastic, fabrics)? - Production of Antiques and Classics have mainly be done by hand with real people: creating jobs for people (vs automatized production today) - You can repair an Antique or Classic car, but as there are much more electronic in an actual car: then it's harder to repair your actual produced car On the other hand: (Actual produced cars are better for the planet) - They say that the actual produced cars consume less gaz, and emit less pollution - Mass production allows low costs, so lower price for cars than before - Repairing an old car could involve transportation costs due to buying piece all over the world : so it's generating carbon footprint (idea from @padgett) It's partly the beginning of my reasoning, if you have ideas and point of views on this question, I'll be really glad to share views with you, Best Chapso
