The 1937 coupe I recently purchased has no cables for the emergency brake. The hand lever under the driver side of dash is there, but nothing else. The coupe is running with a 1957 chevy rearend. I live in an area where wrecking yards are not too plentiful, so a good source for cables and...

Has anyone hooked up the early T-5 transmission to the late ford 8ba flathead? I was given a transmission that appears in excellent shape and am thinking about using it behind the flathead in my '41 pickup. Just wondering how complicated it is to do and if the swap is expensive. I'm guessing it...

I am looking for a license plate frame that will fit a 1937 Washington State plate. The 1937 plate is a little bigger than today's license plates so they don't fit into a new typical frame. I have been searching with no luck so far. I just bought a nice '37 5 window coupe and then found a pair...

Frank, Silver again. After taking another look at your license plate frame, I realize the light comes from the tail light. I should have known that. The light is really not an issue, except the tail lights on my coupe have been frenched in and a light built into the frame would be best. But if I...

Frank, I have a question about your cabriolet's license plate frame. I bought this past summer at Goodguys here in Washington State, a '37 coupe, and have since found pristine 1937 Washington license plates. These are longer than today's license plates. I notice in your picture that your plate...

1. Were the original '37 ford coupe floorboards made of wood? 2. Did the coupe come from the factory with one or two wipers? 3. Did the 5 window coupe come with rear opera seats? 4. What is a source for quality running board covers only. Thanks, Silver

Is the '35 pickup windshield frame the same as the '37 coupe windshield frame? Silver

Thanks, Lanny. Guess the coupe, which I went ahead and bought, is not chopped. Great little coupe put a smile on my face even if it had been chopped. Thanks again for the information. Silver

Juergen, Not sure I am clear on one part of your post. What is the height of the windshield frame at the very center? The reason I am asking is that, according to a couple of friends, a coupe I have been looking at has the had the top chopped. I don't think it looks like it. The center height...

What are the dimensions of the '37 ford windshield frame? (Height & width) Please measure the height at the middle and at the ends. Thanks, Silver
