Thank you for those timely illustrations, Mercman.

While I cannot answer your question about other faux Sun Valleys, I do know that Mercury Sun Valleys were produced in 1954 and 1955 only. 54's were on the Monterey platform and 55's on the Montclair. Authentic '54 Sun Valleys were either yellow or mint green with a dark green hardtop. Not sure...

Discussed in pretty good depth in this thread: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=350518 My post there shows all the glovebox emblems originally intended for 57 Fords. The idea was abandoned early on, with the result that only '57 cars assembled by October of 1956 wound up getting...

On early models the door slides down to expose the tray. On later ones the door and tray pull out on a hinge.

Gary, I'm not quite sure of your question, but will describe how my early '57 Ford operates. The pin is spring loaded and passes through the hole in the accelerator linkage and is secured at each end by fitting into holes under the pedal. When correctly installed, you can no longer lift the...

I suspect they would cut the front pipe about 3" below the crossover stub, connect to exhaust manifold and crossover pipe, and then butt weld the pipe back together under the car.

I’m installing a new stock exhaust system on my 39 Ford Standard Coupe. The lead pipe with flange and crossover stub must pass through an opening between the front spring and frame. Photo 1 shows the opening created by jacking up the car by the center of the front axle until the wheels are off...

Seeking correct hubcaps for 1939 Ford Standard cars. These are distinguishable from '38 hubcaps by their narrower V8 stamping, as shown in the lower left quadrant of the first photo. Second photo is the best close-up of a '39 Standard hubcap I could find. Please send pics and prices of any you...

I think there are guys on here who would take a stab at your question with a few more details. Engine size, carb manufacturer, 2V or 4V carb, etc.

I marvel at the work done by Warbird here. Not to hijack his thread, but are the correct "DO NOT REMOVE" vent caps available anywhere? The BCM repro LF battery for my '39 Standard came with the incorrect Ford script caps.

A friend of mine just found out he will be coming back empty from Miami heading toward Pennsylvania on Friday January 16, 2026. He has hauled 7 or 8 cars for me over the years. Extremely professional and reliable. Message me for details.
