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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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!)

I am living in Sweden and have imported the car from US.
There has been discussion with the Swedish inspection company about how much they can accept to load in the car. They say a total of 150 kg, two persons or gods together, not more.
That´s why I tried to get factory informations about load weight.
I can tell that I have another -41 Coupe with opera rear seats and that car has an accepted load weight of 330 kg.
It´s not easy to talk with persons in authority but I am trying again.
Thanks all for your trying to help.

My Roster shows another 41 Coupe in Sweden, so I would contact the RG and see how the other Coupe was registered. I am reluctant to provide personal information in this very public forum.

The 1941 Coupe was designated as a 3 passenger vehicle in the US. The trunk could carry enough luggage for long trips. The suspension and load carrying capabilities were the same with or without the jump seats.

I still have the problem with my Swedish registration of my US imported 1941 Bus Coupe
To get a solution I need to have a Ford factory documentation of the total weight of the vehicle.
I can´t get this in Sweden so I have to be in touch with the Ford factory in US to get that document.
Anybody how know to do? I am thanksful for all help.

Jehn, I checked every Ford book I have and nowhere can I find an answer to your question. I don't know if Ford even published such information. I thought they might list a load weight for the Station Wagon, but I don't see that ether. There are many books with weights of the specific body types but to get factory Ford documentation, as you ask, is going to be tough. I thought registering a car in NY was tough. I'll keep looking.

Jehn,

Did you contact the Swedish Regional Group for help?

Here is a link to the Ford Archives at the Henry Ford.

https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-resources/research-databases/

If that information is available anywhere it would be in the Archives.

Yes Tom, I tried with the Swedish Regional Group but they where not able to help me in tis case.
I think the only way to get help is in the US.
The licensing authority says that I must present a Ford factory document with the total weight.

In my opinion, you have reached the most unreasonable person in the licensing bureau. I cannot give you much hope in finding a document that gives the loaded weight of a 41 Ford Coupe.

I hope that the Archives will be able to help you or send you a letter that will be accepted by your license agent.
