Greetings; It is almost 2015 and the 75th Anniversary of the 1940 Ford. The Web Administrator is looking for high quality pictures of members 1940 Fords for the photo on the main page. Photos are usually displayed for a month and a half. If you do not have a recent photo of your 1940, there is still time before the weather may turn bad. Submit your photo to info@earlyfordv8.org Thanks for your consideration; Web Administrator

Does this also apply to 40 Mercury and Lincolns? Tom

Tom; Mercurys are this year. Lincolns were in 1997 (if you use the year Henry F. bought Henry L.)

I thought that Ford made Lincolns and Mercurys along with Fords in 1940. So next year will be the 75th Anniversary of the 1940 Lincolns and Mercurys. Tom

Hmmm Then, if I understand what you are saying, then 2015 really is the 112th anniversary of the 1940 Ford. I think what the thought is, that since 1932 when the low cost V-8 was introduced, the Club has been celebrating the diamond anniversary of the low cost V-8. Now Mercury came along in 1939, and Lincoln (Ford purchase anyway) came along in 1921. On the other hand, I am just a web administrator that took over after the 75th Anniversary program started, and am following the tradition that started before my time here. Anyway, before we get too far off the original subject, do you have any great pictures of 1940 Fords? If so, please send them to the email address listed in the first entry. Thanks!

No, what I am saying is 2015 is the 75th anniversary of the 1940 cars and the 112th anniversary of the Ford Motor company. IMHO the Club should celebrate the diamond anniversary of all of the vehicles that are mentioned in the 1st paragraph of the home page. Tom

All Ford products built in 1940 and recognized by the V-8 Club are 75 years old in 2015. Photos of any 1940 marque produced by Ford should be welcome on the site to celebrate the anniversary. This message was edited by trjford8 on 10-4-14 @ 6:42 AM
