FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Does anyone know where I can purchase a manual/booklet that let's me know the instructions of how to put the top down on a 1936 Cabriolet - not a Club Cabriolet? Or do I use the same instruction book for a Club Cabriolet?

I believe they were offered as a reprint in the V8 Times a couple of years ago. Suggest you search there. Not sure if the Cabriolet and the Club Cabriolet were both offered.

The cabriolet has its own top instruction booklet. Here are the images from that booklet.

Yes, There are manuals for the Phaeton and the Convertible Sedan. The Phaeton didn't come out till 1936 and the Conv. Sedan in 1935. Later in 1936 a manual came out for the trunk back Conv. Sedan

The 1936 Club Cabriolet is the model offered thru the V8 Times and eBay sales. I'm going to start selling the few 1936 CABRIOLET booklets I have thru eBay soon.

If the pictures supplied by Don Rogers don’t work for you, I have a reproduced individual booklet for a 1936 Cabriolet for sale. For the last 25 years I’ve been searching for the 1935 version, but have only found a 1936. The individual allowed me to have it copied, but he would never sell it and I have lost contact with him over the years.

It is in the original size, shape, and has the blue cover as issued for glove compartment storage. There is no form number on it so as not to conflict with Ford copyright laws. The other way one can tell it’s not an eighty year old original is that it does not include any oil or grease marks, tears, folds, or chicken scratching normally found with the booklet.

It’s available for $25.00 which includes shipping/postage within the U.S. If you’re interested contact me at: l.gminski@att.net
