Always loved the face of the '37 Ford. Finally caved to the lust and brought this home last May. Standard Tudor Slantback.

I'm interested. Can you share some details?

I had the same problem with my door lock. I used PB Blaster. Shot it directly into the key slot and gently worked the key for a couple of days. As with the Ignition/Column lock, it freed up and works like new now. Just take it slow and easy. You don't wanna twist the key or break it in the...

I had the same problem with my 37 Tudor. I soaked the lock with PB Blaster (penetrating oil) and kept working the key back & forth over a period of a couple of weeks. Eventually everything freed up and the key came out. I was beginning to wonder if maybe the wrong key had been used at one...

Lawson & KGS are both right, .... together. Pry loose at the bottom and push up to release the ring from the tabs at the top and on both sides. And YES, they will pop off and fly away if you're not careful. The rings will bounce on a concrete floor and survive. The lenses, ...... not so much!

I won't rock the boat since I'm fairly new here. I see both sides of the discussion and that's why I hang out here AND on the H.A.M.B. Both sites deliver a valuable service. BUT, ...... Ted, If you have any more pics of the roadster with the red roof (post #10), please send them to me via...

I'll take the dash & the tail light pieces. PM me.

I've seen these in a number of different locations and at all kinds of angles. Is there a definitive "Correct Location/Angle" for the '37 emblem? Here's a shot of mine, and it appears to have been mounted this way for a loooooong time.;)

My '37 Std Tudor has the all metal handles & knobs. Didn't the Deluxe models get the bakelite? :confused:

Excellent choice!!!!! :D I just bought a '37 Tudor in May. Same sealed beam conversion on mine. I unloaded the car from the trailer, pushed it into the garage, ..... and tore those SB conversions off. Within a week I had the stock lenses and rings back on the car. (Probably going with H4...

Kinda difficult to get a good angle for those hoses, but maybe one or two of these will be helpful. Here

Taken from VanPelt site: "From 1932 through 1948 vehicles, Ford Motor Company stamped the serial number into the top of the driver's side frame rail in three locations. This same number was also stamped into the top of the transmission-to-engine housing portion of the transmission. This...
