All original survivor, entire Henry Ford steel body and frame, never been apart. Matching numbers, Near mint factory interior. Has been in my family for 59 years and never ran in rain or snow. 50,100 original miles. When purchased in 1965 the car had 36,000 miles. Has been in two movies with...

Very clean 86-year-old survivor that has been professionally brought back only to working order. Not completely restored or rebuilt. Nearly 90% of the original guts of this survivor are intact and solid. (see pix) Service included: All new capacitors, mostly all Philco tubes, new resistors that...

Good plan! Thanks

Good point! Will do! Thanks

I was leaning on that idea. Over the course of time something got exposed and is tripping the fuse. Well, intense inspection is now the plan. Thank you!!!

Just read the 3 responses to my query and I appreciate all your help. Thank you. Before I go and purchase a new harness ( which may be the smart thing to do after 86 years of usage) I will systematically start checking all visible and accessible wires and connections according to the diagram and...

Gents, First off, I'm no electrical genius by any stretch, but I'm wondering what causes the 25 amp fuse to blow that cuts out my lights and radio in my '33? Let me back up and first say that I am driving a 49K mile survivor. The wire looms are 86 years old yet I've not experienced this light...

Thanks David! Good to know the range of production and '32 difference.

I've watched this 8 times.... so far! Yeah, it's a slow mover at times but the all the 34's were sweet. I have a '33 deluxe and was hoping to spot one somewhere in the film. Even a Model B would've been nice to see. I agree that the scene when Hamer stood on the front end made we wince. The...

Good point! Thanks

Thanks!!! I now know how the end cap releases. I was just tugging on the cap ensuring to not twist either way in this early stage of dismantling. The last thing I want to do is yank or twist any wires or contacts out of place, especially working on the ground with not much room to work. Do you...

Gentlemen, I'm kinda stuck on how to remove the lower end cap of the steering column to expose the rotary electrical contact element. The sole reason for doing this is that a very reliable and knowledgeable V8er explained to me that the reason my horns don't work on my deluxe fordor is that...

OK. I had a fella that said he has a few of these but wanted photos of exactly which one I need. I couldn't figure out how to post photos in a message back to the guy so I thought I could do this. Sorry

In need of an original, clean (not rusty) rear view mirror assembly for a closed 1933. Pix attached are for reference only. Would love the bracket to have original dark brown paint Thanks all!

Looks like mine!!
