A post in the Vintage Thunderbird Club International's 1955-1957 Thunderbird forum has spurred me to try and determine if more than one glovebox door emblem for V-8-equipped 1957s and 1958 Ford full-size cars were used. A picture of a "Thunderbird Special" emblem with a T-bird "Vee-bird" and a...

If any of you will be attending the joint CTCI-VTCI convention in Grapevine, TX this Tuesday-Saturday, please feel free to pull me aside and say hi. I'll be the guy running around wearing a beat-up red ballcap with a white 'N' on the front.

I'm on a mission to find Ford's M-#s for white interior colors used in '64 Fords, Fairlanes, Falcons, Mustangs and T-birds. In going through Ditzler, duPont, Rinshed-Mason, Acme and Martin-Seynour color charts, I'm having little to no luck finding an off-white or 'pearl' white interior...

Stupid question, but going to ask anyway: Will 15" rims (don't recall width) from a '71 F-100 present any problems being used on a '40 passenger car? Offset issues or rubbing on suspension components? Currently have 3 such rims (5"x5 lugs if I'm not mistaken) sitting in my parent's garage about...

Let's have some fun understanding Mercury engines. I'm attempting to develop a comprehensive list of FE-series (352-390-410-428 and 427/427 SOHC) engines by the Engine ID code used on engine tags, in part to help people figure out if the engines in their T-birds are original to their cars or...

Time to ask a favor of those who have collections of Master Parts Catalogs (Kultulz comes to mind first). I'm currently researching engine ID code numbers and applicable model lines that engines went into for mid-'60s through 1979 Fords/Lincolns/Mercurys/Trucks. For the record, I have a...

I stumbled across two Motorcraft heavy-duty shock absorbers that I bought years ago but lost track of what the applications are. I suspect they are late '60s-'70s vintage; they are painted champagne gold in color. Originally I bought them for a '63 T-Bird, but they are not the right application...

Does anyone reproduce or sell the original-style pebble-grained cardboard for '40 Ford sedans?

One of my T-bird club members forwarded me text from an old article that he wants to see printed in our club magazine, saying he found it on a Facebook posting a few years ago and feels that it's public domain/fair use to reprint it without acknowledging the author or getting permissions to...

Can someone provide the length of '40 rear axle radius rods vs '41? I'm looking for a pair for my '40 tudor as they are missing; a local person has a pair of '41s he's willing to sell. I want to go look at them after work today. We don't know how long they need to be. And, yes, I'm aware that...

I'm trying to wrap my head around the rot in the floor pan and trunk of my '40 Tudor. I want to do it right and use pans with the correct embossments and contours, not go the replacement/street rod/sheet metal shop bend-on-a-brake route. Floor pan seems simple enough - either patches or full pan...
