My first contact with Elmer was in Sept 1973 when he answered an advert i placed in the "V8 Times" for parts. This led on to the exchange of many parts between our two countries. He was responsible for locating my 34 Cabriolet in Ca in 1984 that i then imported back to NZ and fully restored. I...

I do not know why this should have ended up in NZ as we definitely never got any of the early 33's in NZ. Also I had a relatively early 3 window 33 here and that had a similar crank bearing but the ears were not drilled for the fender brackets.

Many thanks for that, if any ford barners are interested message me.

I have had for over 50 years (and realize I will now never use them) what was supposed to be a NOS 1933 fuel pump push rod and a NOS early starting crank bearing 40-5461-R with the ears for the early style fender brackets. I wish to move these on and want some idea of value? Any ideas, I am in...

I have their instructions for 1933/34 cabriolets, may not be of any use for you but someone with a cabriolet may be interested.

I installed a NOS lighter in my 1934 Cabriolet dash. No way was I going to connect it up live so just coiled the wire up behind the dash. One less potential hazard.

No snakes around Lawrie?

Got my copy last week here in NZ

That's a New Zealand rego Trevor and comes up on CARJAM as an Australian import with first registration in NZ on 4th Jan 1995. The top could have been modified to make it a bit more americanised.

Got mine in New Zealand a couple of weeks back

I could supply you with some used ones at no cost. Just pay the postage however i am in New Zealand.

Great to catch up with you yesterday. Glad you are having a great time Randy. Hope you are getting use to driving on the left side and not the wrong side of the road. Graham

I got a chance to photograph last week the body number and chassis numbers from one of the 13 1932 3 window coupes that were sold new in New Zealand. The number 483 is already on the list above but here is photographic proof. The chassis (gearbox number) is C18R 271 and is original to the car...

Just wondered are the 32 3 window exterior door handles the same as 33/34 exterior handles. Cheers Graham

I have found probably a dozen of these here in New Zealand and they are identical to the 'FORD' script ones. I have an original pair of 'FORD' ones that i brought at a swap meet in Watsonville Ca. in 1984 that i have installed on my 34 cabriolet and wired them as directional indicators. I prefer...
