No need to censor your license plate mate. It is virtually impossible for anybody to do anything with it. LEO's discussed this at length on the Cadillac forum on FB. Good luck with the car. It is really nice.

HI Dave. Ford did not produce a "Business Coupe" in 1937. Only three coupe models available for 1937: Club Coupe, DeLuxe Coupe and Standard Coupe.

I am going to order some thermostats from Joe's. I have a 37 Ford 85hp. I drive about 400-500 miles a year. Should I get 160 degree or 180 degree thermostats?

I see that Joe's offers 160 degree and 180 degree thermostats. What is recommended for my light driving? Should I get 160 or 180 degree thermostats? Thank you.

Still have an over flow problem; now has turned into an over heat problem. I think it is a bad thermostat or bad pump(s). Today I drove a short distance and the temp was 170-180 degrees. Coolant was weeping out of the (loose) cap. I came back to the barn. By the time I got the garage door...

I took a short ride on Saturday in my 1937 Ford with 85hp. When I returned, I noticed that some coolant had leaked out of the radiator cap. The cap is really old and appears to be original. I went for a short ride yesterday, just a few miles, and the same thing happened. I stuffed a rag...

No such thing as a 1939 Ford "Business Coupe." There is only a De Luxe and a Standard for 1939.

You asked for opinions: "Any advice will be appreciated." Looks like it is a buyer's market for Model A cars.

That is what it looks like.

Packard was building engines for the P-51 and for PT boats and Studebaker was making B-17 engines.

Thanks. I have several Model A books and this will make a great addition.

What is the title? Looks interesting to me.

Thanks.

Rustic Brown for 1937. Here is a link to a previous discussion: https://www.earlyfordv8.org/forum/printthread.cfm?Forum=18&Topic=10310

Don't forget that production year and calendar year are two different things. Mercury production for 1940 likely commenced in late 1939 -- Oct or Nov -- and likely ceased in Sept or October of 1940.

Great thread and photos. I love them old trucks too.

I am betting we agree on this
