A lot of younger folks take it for granted, but I keep on being amused by how modern technology advances make our lives easier. Not long ago I had a rare wind wing bracket broken on my '39 Fordor. I couldn't find that part anywhere and it was impossible to repair it. A friend told to have it...

WTB 1939 wind wing brackets or at least one upper bracket wind wing is like in the photo

Dear friends, I took my '39 Fordor for a short trip around Moscow and everything was fine until I got stuck in a traffic jam. The temp crept to ~200 degrees. Then I accidentally stalled the engine and it didn't want to start with a starter. The smell of gas was an indication of no spark. I asked...

I need to lubricate a wiper motor. It starts to make squeaky noises after operating for a few minutes. What should I use?

Greetings! I want to ask for your advice. My '39 Ford was registered many years ago, in Soviet Union time. Registration docs were changed and replaced over the years, and now registration papers don't bear any numbers that can be used to identify my car. They just state "Ford V8 1939, black" I...

the fan was bought, thanks everyone! WTB a radiator fan for my '39 Ford Delux. Mine failed (a blade broke off, fortunately with minor damage) on a trip to Minsk, Belarus. Thanks!

I don't know much about carburetors therefore I ask for your help. Recently my '39 Ford developed a problem - it started to die while coming to a stop like at a red light and yeld signs. I need to rev it up to keep it from stalling, then it idles fine while standing still. What may be the problem?

Some time ago I decided to buy a spare condensor. I wrote to Bubba's asking about shipment to Russia, gave my shipping address and started to wait for a shipping quote. I got busy with other things, then I went on a trip to Belarus to take part in Retro Minsk meet of classic cars. I never got a...

I'm thinking of taking the first long (about 1000 mi.) road trip in my '39 Fordor. I'd be very thankfull if you guys give me some advice about what parts I shouldtake with me. I know that some of you take long trips from time to time. What do you take with you?

When was (if ever) De Luxe a separate marque, not a trim level?

My steering wheel was cracked and pitted in some places so I wanted to do something with it. Frankly, I can turn wrenches OK but I try to stay away from any kind of bodywork - filling, sanding, fine sanding etc. After seeing a thread on this forum about wheel upholstery I decided to go down this...

What can be used to refill Houdaille shocks? Motorcycle fork oil? ATF? It's really a pain to get it shipped overseas so I hoped for a more common replacement. Any ideas?

Can you guys tell me where to start looking? They worked fine after complete re-wire of the car. Not any more. And it looks like if I depress the brake pedal while parking lights are on, parking lights dim a little. Any ideas?

embroidered on a polo, but still I'm happy like a kid on New Year morning....

The hood on my '39 Fordor sits a bit too low so it touches the body in some spots. I remember reading somewhere that you need to move hinges DOWN to make the hood sit HIGHER. Is it true? Can somebody shed the light on that issue? Thanks!

I know that some of the members drive their cars in winter. My present Cooker tires are not for snow, definitely. What can you recommend for stock rims?
