Interesting conversion.

I take that back... seems like they made a hearse. Why they didn't use one I'm not sure but I've seen stories that say there wasn't one around when it was needed.

Mrs. Ford had this built but never lived to see it completed.

I wouldn't say he preferred them. Ford didn't make a limo so he didn't have a choice. Much like his last ride. Ford didn't make a hearse either.

The T's wouldn't surprise him... just the A's.

The rubber plantation never worked out either.

The cemetery and grave are well kept. It's just the rest of the city. 😁

If you are ever in Detroit make sure to head out on Joy Rd. and visit the cemetery. The church is beautiful but pretty much abandoned. The cemetery is well kept but the area no so great. Probably most people who drive by don't realize Henry is buried there.

Just curious... why is it a hard sell? Seems like a fairly rust free (as in perforations) door would be desirable.

No I don't have it for sale... I just saw it today at an antique shop.

Just a heads-up... know nothing about it and it's not mine so I'm not posting it in the for sale forum. But I was at an antique shop today in Springfield Ohio (Springfield Antique Center building #2) and saw this nice fordor rear door for $250 if anyone can use it. Seemed like a good price.

Lots of pictures of Edsel smiling at his house. Great place to visit if you get the chance.

How do you get banned from Ford Barn? I rarely see anyone argue too bad or anything.

Got it figured out. Need to clean it real good, lube it and reassemble. I'm glad I took it apart!

I think that is right. Can you imagine the car makers designing something like that today?!?!?!?

The problem is definitely in the odometer number stack. They'll move but they are stiff. Staring in the 10's place. Didn't go beyond that. Anyone know how to get the stack apart? Update: Pulls right apart. Seems like the problem is the brass tube in the stack is sticky. Like the lube...

I took it apart. I can rotate the numbers very easily backwards. Nothing is stiff. Once it reaches 19999.9 it's a hard stop. So I assume the worm gear, when faced with the immovable pinion gear, pushed the cover plug off the back. Like it's jammed. Ideas?

My speedometer works fine. My odometer stopped working at 19999.9. I took it out today and the back was popped out. See photo. The back plug was held in with what looks to be silver colored silicone. I have no problem disassembling it but has anyone ever seen this happen before? Anyone...

I didn't see the choice that way. I saw it as a choice between stock brakes with stock stopping power and modified brakes with possibly enhanced stopping power. I'm not convinced that I need more than stock stopping power.

Thanks Tom! That burned resistor in the document looks just like my burned resistor lol!
