JMAV8FORD

You should be able to find several people who have restored a Sportsman at the Early Ford V8 Club of America web site.

The grille bar is 1949 Ford only; it will not fit 1950 Ford.

1961, '32 Ford three window coupe, the seller was asking $65. I couldn't get my father interested. He had tunnel vision for only Model T's

I would be interested in a pair of exterior door handles for '30 Oakland.

Here's a start: count the number of studs on each head. What letters or numbers are on each head?

If you can read the serial number that is stamped on the flat surface above the inspection plate (held on by the two screws), the year and month of manufacture can be determined. If you can read the casting number in front of the shift tower, we can narrow it down to a couple of years. Given that its floor shift with that style of throw out shaft, it's likely Ford truck in the '40's.

From the part number and appearance, highly likely it's Lincoln, maybe in the '60's.

Vrod, I posted a reply to you in the Ford section.

Welcome to the hobby! The first thing that you need to understand about the hobby is that there are many more cars available and for sale than you think. If you have decided that you want an old car, do you want a Ford or don't you care what brand you get? Do you want a Ford or other in the '50's or older or newer or don't you know? How much work do you want to do or how much work do you know how to do? Do you want a car that is running and driveable and usable now? For this car specifically, '54 is not the best year for a Ford, and this car has a 6 cylinder, not a V8. In addition, you seem to say that the floor is rusted out, which means that it is likely that there has been rust repair in the fenders, rocker panels and quarter panels which will probably have to be redone. Rechroming the grille and bumpers will be an expensive undertaking. All in all, this car is not a good candidate for a person new to the hobby. Since you are in York (and close to Hershey), and since Hershey is about a month away, you should come to the flea market and car corral, and look closely and carefully at many cars before you make a decision to buy.

I would like to identify the usage for king pin sets Thompson 266AX and Toledo K85. Thank you.

Re: get in touch. How do we do that?

I would like to know please the dates of the Macungie, PA car show. Thank you.

CODF is typically the part number indicating 1960 Falcon. I believe 1962 Fairlane would be C2BF.

The first item is for '53 Ford fordor right rear quarter. The third item is for '54 Mercury left front fender. The second number is not a Ford part number.

I need to move an engine from California to Pennsylvania. It has been rebuilt, so it needs to be kept clean and dry. I need recommendations for transporters please.

When I got involved with AACA in 1961, Tiny Gould was already a major force and a well known collector. He lived in the Scranton, PA area. I was at his garage only once, but I remember his PA license plate collection: it ran from prior to 1910 into the 1960's, it had both plates for each year, and all of the plates had the same number! I think he only bought and sold, and did not restore.

I brought home three vehicles from a barn in York, PA last weekend. Each had a roll of toilet paper in the glove compartment.
