Currently registered and insured. Good solid running, driving project, or drive as is. Fairly clean straight body/chassis. Interior is nothing to brag about, but complete and functional. This car has an older amateur restoration. Runs and drives nice. Original flathead V8 (Last year), Original...

does anyone know where I can find Window glass run (channel) retaining clips? I am replacing the glass in my 1953 Customline and I am missing 5 or 6 clips that hold the window channel in place. I can not seem to find a source for them.

I need to find a gas tank for a 1953 Ford Customline. Or a good gas tank repair place in the lower S/W Michigan, N/W Indiana area. Thanks

Just bought new side glass for my 53 Customline, and I need to find the glass run channel. I am having a hard time finding both pieces the rear division run (runs along the back of the wing vent), and the other that runs across the top and down the back side of the glass. I need a set for both...

I need a dash bezel for a 1953 Customline/Victoria for the radio. I have one, but don't want to modify my original. I am looking for one to modify to fit a modern stereo behind it so the dash retains the original look. If anyone has one laying around, I would be interested in it.

No pictures, but just wanted to brag on my old shoebox. How come everytime someone sees an old car with the hood up, they automatically assume it's the one broke? Got a call from my sister. Her late model car wouldn't start. Nothing serious, just needed a jump (she left the lights on). I took...

Took "Dolores" (1953 Ford Customline) and the bride out for a nice spring ride today. Took a shot next to the famed "Tasty Nut Shop" and soda bar. It's a historic building in town built in the late 1800's. Seems every vintage car that strolls down historic hwy 12 has to stop by to take a picture...

Anybody run Synthetic oil in their 239? I'm thinking about changing to 20W50 Sythetic blend. Pros/cons?

I have to take a look, but would like a few opinions as well. On my 53 Ford, Fordomatic (auto), when I put it in reverse, I get a loud "Clunk". Not so much when I am putting it in drive. Seems to only be when I start out in reverse. It drives and shifts fine, no weird whinning, or other...

I am going to add an oil pressure gauge to my 53. I know oil pressure is a hot topic on the 239. My stock pressure gauge shows no pressure at all. I am confident I have at least some pressure because the flatty runs great and no "no oil pressure" type of noises. However, that said, have always...

Just before winter, I bought a pretty clean 53 Customline. Flathead V8/Fordomatic. It has some cheap Mr. Gasket moons on it, but they don't fit very well (VERY tight), in fact, you have to beat them to death to get them to bend enough to go on. I am pretty sure they are 10-1/8 id. Does someone...

Newbie here. I have had many vintage Fords over the years, but just got my 1st flathead v8. Just bought a really clean 1953 Customline Tudor with the last year of the flathead V8 and 1st year the automatic was offered, factory "Fordomatic". Runs and drives awesome. I have my 1st question...
