I like the look of the standard as well. Lloyd D's really nice 39 Standard was displayed at EFV-8 Central National Meet at Springfield, IL.

Because a Standard was cheaper than a De Luxe. Some folks -or companies- needed just a basic car. No need to purchase a De Luxe and incur the additional cost. So, the Standard was the choice for the economy minded Ford buyer in 1939.

The Great Depression--at last a subject that I actually know something about. Economic recovery from the Great Depression began in 1933 in the United States. GDP, helped by parts of the New Deal, swung upwards from 1933 onward to 1937. In 1937, Congress cut back on the recovery and the...

Was Ford Motor Company a 24/7 operation in the mid 1930s? Three shifts? Did they work on Sundays? Weekends? Christmas? Interested in these details for the 1936 - 1937 period. Thanks

Nice.

This book is still in print and available from on line book vendors.

Yep, a bit of a mix up there. I am thinking he attached the wrong info to the wrong photos. You see this kind of mistake in ads once in a while. Or, if that is not the case, then the seller is really uninformed.

A low flying Lockheed Hudson collided with a 1935 Ford on that beach in February 1943; several people were killed.

Since the 1941 Ford is a one year only car, I would suggest buying the most complete car you can find (no missing ss trim or interior trim). Trying to find missing trim pieces for 1941 Ford is a nightmare I am told.

Don't leave your car out during the July 4th holiday. My friend left his black 1937 Ford out and then his neighbor lit off about $2,000 worth of stuff, coating my friend's car with fireworks residue and causing some damage. The Ford friend said that the neighbor never lit off stuff before so the...

You might want to try H.A.M.B. for some good used tires. The hot rod guys over there often buy stock Fords and sell the running gear and wheels/tires. I have seen a set of five brand new with wheels go for as little as $500.

Except a 1939 Ford.

His edition might be a "re-release" of the previously published work. Probably re-released to commemorate the 75 anniversary of the 1932 Ford.

You might want to post this in the "Swap" Buy and Sell section of this forum. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6

Nothing will stop a real pro, but the extra time to cut through a steering wheel might be all the time needed to slow up a crook and bust him. Club might work good against the casual non pro auto thief.
