    Glove Box Door V-8 Emblems - 1957 and 1958 Fords

    A post in the Vintage Thunderbird Club International's 1955-1957 Thunderbird forum has spurred me to try and determine if more than one glovebox door emblem for V-8-equipped 1957s and 1958 Ford full-size cars were used. A picture of a "Thunderbird Special" emblem with a T-bird "Vee-bird" and a...

    T-Bird Club/Forum??

    Thanks for the good word-of-mouth. FWIW I know a lot of CTCI members are also on the VTCI Forum as well as being VTCI members. BTW I am one of the the administrator for the VTCI Forum and try to monitor it on a daily basis. I'll spare you the commercial on becoming a paying member-in-good...

    Unknown Ford Radio ?

    64 Ford Galaxie or Fairlane by the face plate, but the frequency/band info sure isn't American. What is used down under?

    55 Fairlane gauge panel removal

    Or, do what I did 40 years ago when I changed out the speedometer cable in my '55 Victoria - don't put the nuts back on and leave it loose in the dash. I drove it like that for a few years (including use as a daily driver for the the end of my senior year in college) and didn't have it fall out...

    If any of you will be attending the joint CTCI-VTCI convention in Grapevine, TX this Tuesday-Saturday, please feel free to pull me aside and say hi. I'll be the guy running around wearing a beat-up red ballcap with a white 'N' on the front.

    R.I.P. to the 1952-59 Ford Social Group

    Summb*tch..no wonder I wasn't getting any notices the past few days. Thanks for moderating it, Jeff - being a quasi-moderator for VTCI's Forums I know it's a really thankless job when it runs smoothly.

    Tri-power issues

    Joe Buentic passed away earlier this year (March, I believe). I second Jeff's recommendation for contacting Drew at Air-Fuel-Spark, but be aware as often as he's out to sea, and with all the Facebook posts and emails he gets, he's very particular as to how he responds to inquiries. BTW I'm...

    Update on Ol' Ron

    From those of us who absorbed what Ol'Ron had to say but didn't have the opportunity to interact or say 'thanks' for sharing what he knew, condolences and prayers on his passing. From reading Ruth's posts, it reminds me of all the folks older than myself that have moved on in the nearly 50 years...

    3D Printed Ford Battery Case Help

    I've got a reproduction '40-style battery sitting on my workbench that I bought in 1980 but never filled with acid for my '40 tudor 'retirement' project (I bought a basket case when I was 19 in 1980, and am about 4 years from being able to 'officially' start on it). I much rather like the idea...

    That one I don't know the answer to as I'm not in charge of managing the website, Forums or access to them. We did just install an update to the software on Friday, February 3rd: https://www.vintagethunderbirdclub.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=20927 I can tell you that VTCI's home page has been...
