This gent did an amazing job with some of his Dads photographic gems. Enjoy! [MEDIA]
‘36 and ‘37 Coupe Sedans are rare, like hens teeth. Seven or eight ‘36’s and perhaps twice as many ‘37’s. To get the measurement you’re seeking,...
Yeah, actually Lincoln referred to it as a Coupe Sedan (not Tudor) because of its two doors.
Finding real doors from a Tudor is extremely unlikely. When my late father restored his ‘36 over two decades ago ( it’s now in the Lincoln annex...

My Dad’s ‘36 Cab, Alhambra, CA, 1946. [ATTACH]
Or to a rodder by the same name? I keep a small collection of genuine and reproduction car club plaques for several cities here in the suburbs of...
Agree. If the line at which the hood top met the side panels paralleled the body line (along with the louvers), it seems like it would flow...
Ingenious that he sent his daughter to pick up some close shades of lacquer nail polish to mix and fill the chips in the finish.
[ATTACH]My collection includes at least one of every production casting from the first five years of production, 1968-1972.
The Zephyr in the film is a 1936 4 Door Sedan. 1937 saw the bumpers change to horizontally straight with a slight V shape to emulate the...
Great story! The aircraft behind him is a Douglas A-26 Invader (USN designation, JD-1) with VU-1, a Utility Squadron. JD-1’s were used as target...
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen ‘39 teardrops used horizontally. Kinda like it though!
I can recommend Andy Hill at Outsiders Customs in Fort Worth.
Obrientruckers.com has over 12,000 patterns for car club plaques and toppers made in the 1950/60’s with a searchable database by city, club name,...
Yep, I’d give a good home to that front bumper in a heartbeat!
Definitely racing on an airport runway as you can see the painted markings, 15 R (Runway One-Five Right. Which means the airport had at least two...
Amazing thread and amazing work! Definitely following this one. The 1936 Coupe-Sedan is rare indeed. My late father owned/restored the one in the...

I can hardly wait for Pate! Part of it is the thrill of the hunt, part is the fact it’s in my DNA having attended SoCal Swap meets since my age...
My sleuthing leads me to believe it’s not Texas at all but what was then Walker Air Force Base in Roswell, New Mexico. My first clue was the...
After posting back in 2021 the story about my late father’s pre/post war, 1936 Ford Cabriolet...
1.6 million.
Nice find! As a former USAF crew member I can tell you we used crew cabs in order to drive around base when we were “on alert.” Hamilton AFB near...
While going through some family photos recently, I found a few images of my late fathers 1936 Ford Cabriolet and thought I’d share them here....
Very cool story and thank you for setting the record straight on “GL-3.”
It was the red Greased Lightning (the one I dubbed GL-3) that had the big fins.
Well, it IS the 1950 which survives, at least according to this:...
