That's completely false. Airflows had full length frames from back to front that you can remove the body from. I'm looking at one right now.
Cool old thread. Kind of inspiring as I look out the shop window at my 37 DeSoto airflow sedan, wondering how it would look if I ran it...
Bump. This one does have the metal roof insert as well. Not sure I mentioned that above.

I did this one with kirker base clear. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I'm not in a huge hurry to use it again. I guess I'd do it again but I...

Thanks. I don't know if anybody noticed a couple of other do-dads bolted/screwed onto the car. Like the fender top turn signal indicators off...
Cool, that's great info! Thanks! I can see some orange under some flaked blue paint on the engine. My tail lights are 54 I think, as is my hood...
I think you can click on the their name and then click start a conversation or send a PM?
Thank you for that.
Carnival red and sungate ivory were our original colors. Sweet! We hit a car show today with the 53, nice drive to the show and back and fun at...
Thanks Jeff, I sent you an email with some pictures. Please let me know if it doesn't come through. I will look into the link above.
Hi guys, we have a 53 customline, 215 6 cylinder, manual 3 speed. Still running points, 6 volt, generator. Everything works really nice. We bought...
Nice! Thanks.

Oil delivery is all hosed up at the top end. I need to fix that and get some new push rods and adjuster tips for the rockers.
No engine knock, it was a couple loose rocker arms. Runs like a sewing machine now.
I purchased the car, been driving it today. Car is good but the engine has a knock, so... Now do I fix the 215 or swap the 239? Lol.
After studying the hell out of the very same thing, I decided on a USA made rotary brand 10,000 lb symmetrical for my shop. And I ordered a red...
I do have the 223 version in a 64 galaxie 4 door. It pulls the car around just fine, real smooth. If the little 215 runs at all like the 223, I...
Alright thanks for the input guys. Especially the first hand experience and stories shared. I really appreciate that. I will look at the car...
For those with the pre Y block era fords, specifically 52-53 where you could find a 239 flat head V8 or a 215 overhead valve inline 6 under the...
Update, I finally got time to do something about these braces. Before: [IMG] After: [IMG] [IMG] The G'damn rotten mid brace: [IMG] I...
