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!)

Ihave a 1937 v8 delux conv cabriolet and on this car their are exhausts coming from the hood area, teo on each side. I was told that this was called an Auburn package. I do not know if this was a ford option or a dealer accessory. If you go to Hemmings motor news 1937 ford. Then scroll down to oldtimers gallery-cars 1937 ford and go down to the seventh line of cars you will see the vehicle. This car has won several AAAC awards so thst is why I tthought that it was from Ford. That web site is on Google. Thank you for what information you might provide.

Model A, I couldn't locate the Hemmings picture you referenced, but would very much enjoy seeing a picture of your car. If you have a picture of it on your desktop, you can post it here by hitting the "choose file" button just below the Reply window on your post.

I can imagine what an "Auburn Package" looks like, and if I remember correctly, such an accessory was available from JC Whitney years ago. They were never an authorized Ford accessory.

Model A, Thank you, and that is a beautiful car! It looks like it has every accessory known to mankind, too! I hope it doesn't sit in the garage too much, as car like that deserves to be on the road.
