Unique Douglass Flathead Exhaust Manifold

[Barn Junk]

I got this LH exhaust manifold with a few boxes of flathead parts. Cast iron with the following ID "DOUGLAS MFG CO 10" , "49 TO 51 " , "ALHAMBRA CALIF". Fits tight to the block with a curve around a steering gear box and has a rear 2-bolt outlet. Probably is a dual exhaust conversion for a pass car?? Is it desirable or valuable?

Like this one??

Yep, that's the one, JDL. Was it made for a car or truck? Do you have one on your 51 coupe?

They were made for a car, might work on a truck? I have single exhaust on my coupe. I have owned that manifold for over thirty years thinking I may use it someday. time fllys..

That left side exhaust manifold was made for and used by Ford on their police package dual exhaust system starting in '51 [I think] and used thru '53. Pat Rooney is re-popping that same manifold. He's done a nice jop replicating it. Ken

Did the police package contain anything else, like cam, carbs???
Suspension parts?
