    Happy day AFTER CHRISTmas everyone:

    I am Michael and I was directed to this group by some members of the fordflatheadv8 group over at Yahoo.

    I've just bought a 1949 Ford Custom, Club Coupe from a museum in Missouri and hope to come into this group so I can learn more about my car and the "care and feeding" of it.

    I'll answer all questions from you folks and I'm sure you'd rather I do that than go into details that you really don't care about.

    The coupe, Emma Jean, has a Mercury engine with Offenhauser heads and intake which mounts a Holley 4 barrel carburetor. Stock other than that and many chrome items in the engine bay.

    Interior is white "rolled and pleated" naugahyde topping a black loop/pile carpet. JVC AM-FM CD under the dash. Lowered, dummy spots and lake pipes, Foxcraft style skirts, wide white sidewall 6.70x15" tires and '57 Lancer wheel covers.

    Nuff said for now. Michael.

    Welcome to the madness!! Post some pix. For me, the 49-50 shoebox is a favorite post-war car.
