My intention was to insert a photo, but it shows that I’m not capable of doing it. I have plowed through all of this top color discussion now and my conclusion is the following. With respect, rod builders are using or thinking of one word more than most serious restorers. That word is ORIGINAL...

Let's see if I can be of some assistance, or I may add some more confusion. I have a nice picture from Gene Hetlands (RIP) collection in 2008. It shows his original low milage DL Roadster with original body paint. The top was also believed to be the genuine, but bleached after 76 years. You...

Sold, but I can't find a delete button.

This is a nice cleaned '32 Distributor with original internal parts. It's a pretty early one with the small diameter points and braker plate adjustment without index. External parts rust protected by silver spray paint. Shipping is $50.00 extra.

Just my warmest congratulations! Saw it in 2018 almost done and filled my camera with photos of as many details as you could imagine. You are my 32 professor! My wife was with me so I concentrated to not fall asleep laying on my back under this beautiful Roadster. Think of the wonderful dreams I...

On a vacation photo from Spain someone showed me a 32 with a somewhat rust pitted chrome grill shell. Most likely no 32s left any Ford plant with those ugly grill shells. If someone can prove the opposite I will stop saying they are ugly on a 32 and change to strange looking. Paint them!

One wiper when the car left the factory. Someone added the passenger side wiper at a later date.

Does anyone have an opinion about Drakes '32 W/S Frame for the Cabriolet?

Congratulations Mike to a car we never saw here in Sweden as far as I know. In this hobby we all plan for an age of 125, at least I do, so good luck!

A closed 47 should have cowl top mounted antenna while the convertibles had a cowl side mount antenna. However, the center mount antenna would fit. I have never heard of the need of an antenna amplifier offered by Ford for these cars. Where can I read about that?

Ordered a new tank for my 47 Merc from Drake when he introduced it at the Lake Tahoe meet in 2013. Half a year later when it arrived, and I intended to install it I noticed the original sender didn't fit - no way. Had to order his sender. With the tank full it required som bending of the arm to...

I would guess Roy Nacewicz is the answer as he restored a Club Cabriolet years ago.

I see them often for sale on eBay.

tiger.1000 Beautiful car! Where can I find a pair of those fender mounted park lights for my Canada built Cabriolet project?

I just had my gearbox removed in my 1947 Merc Conv in order to avoid touching the engine when replacing the clutch. I'm done and offer you the following. You don't need to remove the seat, floor pan yes, preferrably also the water heater if you have one, rear end and drive shaft assembly to be...

I'm confused. What is actually the fact? I was told by an EFV-8 Club authority that the production engines in the 1946-48 production Ford and Merc cars were 239s marked 59. The 59A and 59AB should be Ford's after market replacement engines that were bored to either 221 or 239. Is there a...

In addition, I remember my body man saying that he had to make different tools for the upper and lower reveals due to different door skin curves. Can anyone confirm? Don't remember if he also used left an right tools. He probably did because he was as fussy as you can ever imagine. It was magic...

Be careful! What is referred to on eBay is not correct for your Merc. The center piece is Ford, not Merc! This is the speaker grille. The middle three bars are a separate chrome unit and the rest is plastic.
