    Clovis, CA Rodeo Parade 2018

    The theme this year (104th consecutive year) was Mickey & friends. I have more but don't want to bore ya'll. The count was 25 A's and 50 folks for the Pizza Party. The 1st photo is of some of the A's and the next 3 are of me returning home. We had temps in the mid 70's. A great day for the...

    Ford Sedan Delivery vs Gibbons conversion

    A friend recently acquired a Gibbons Sedan Delivery conversion on a '29 Tudor. How much longer is the original Ford Sedan Delivery. I know wheel bases are the same. I'm interested in the body length. Where can I look for dimensioned drawings? Thanks

    Tire thoughts

    This is a photo that I took at a recent event. The tires were LT 215/85 R16 on a '31 Tudor. They have the look that I think I want. My '31 Roadster has a B engine, HC head, F&S Ignition, Weber carb, touring cam, '39 gears in B box, Laycock OD, 3.54 rear, and 16" wires with 6.50's. I'm very...

    LT 215/85R16's

    I came across this A at a recent show. The tires were LT 215/85R16's and I thought they looked really good. I did not get a chance to chat with the owner. Has anyone here tried them? I'm thinking of radials to replace my 14 year old 6.50 16 bias plies and would like to hear pros and cons...

    Washington/Riviera Blue Roadsters

    Here is a photo of my '31 40-B Dlx. in Washington/Riviera Blue. I bought it from George Hawkins, a Utah Bees member, now gone to his everlasting reward. This is the way it came with the 'rattle can" yellow 16's. My commitment to George was to keep it as I fell in love with it, which I have...

    '31 Deluxe Roadster production dates etc.

    What was the date that the dual fender spares were replaced by a single rear spare? I've read that this was done so that the selling price could be lowered. I have done a site search, looked at the Ford Garage web-site and consulted the Judging Standards and not found an answer. My friend...

    My '31 Roadster has '35 Ford wheels and brakes with 13 year old Goodrich 6.50's. Lots of tread and few very small cracks. It has a B engine, "touring" cam, 6.1 head, Holley 94, FS Ignition, '39 gear set in '32 case, Laycock O.D., and 3.54's. I am very happy with it's performance. Some say...

    '31 rescued

    We rescued this coupe from a 46 year hibernation last Wednesday. PO thought it had a blown head gasket; or a cracked head; or a cracked block; he couldn't be sure. It was last registered in 1965 and he had intended on fixing it. He ran out of time. It is a Standard coupe with trunk and...

    One more mystery

    Fellow Barners, My '31 40B has these two plugs that are an inch in and up from the lower corners below the rumble lid. Any ideas as to what hides beneath them and what are they for? I'm reluctant to just pry them off to see and the pan on the inside hides them from view. I think that...

    Looking for History

    I acquired a 1931 40-B Dlx Roadster last year from George Hawkins (now passed) who lived in Bountiful, Utah. His story was that he traded it for a restored Harley at the Orange County Pancake Breakfast "about 20 years ago". George said that he had not done any cosmetic work on the roadster...

    Rear Valence on 1931 40-B Dlx Roadster

    My A has this piece. Several other folks with '31 40-B Dlx Rdsters don't. No one seems to know if they were standard or optional. What do you think. Thanks, Russ
