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!)

Hi, I am new to the site. I am trying to find help in pricing a 37 Ford I inherited. My father was a car enthusiast and this one he did a frame off restoration. I am looking for some honest opinions on how I can get an accurate value. Thank you.

A lot depends on why you want the value. If you are trying to settle an estate "The Old Car's Price Guide" will give you a number in writing and the accountants always like that. You will need to establish the condition. Post a lot of pictures here and on fordbarn. Make a copy of the responses. Individual copies of The Old Cars Price Guide are usually available in larger book stores. If you put your general location in your profile people might be better able to point you in the right direction.

The '37 roadsters are rare and you won't find much history of sales. Be sure to check the sold cars on EBAY.

If you decide to sell it keep it for a year. You will probably change your mind and once it is gone it is gone.

Are you sure it's a roadster and not a convertible. As Charlie mentions '37 roadsters are very scarce.

Jessica, I'm sorry for your loss. As said above, a '37 Roadster is not just any Ford, and may well have been known to the Early Ford V8 Club as would your father. If you post his name here, and list any Concourse awards he may have received for its restoration, you should get some reliable numbers.

I’m told it’s a roadster and the paperwork in the file mentions it as well. He passed away in the middle of this restoration so I had to make the decision to complete it which I did. My fathers plan was to go for the Dearborn award.

The estate was settled and I am now the owner of the car. Lacking knowledge on the vehicle, I am hoping you guys can shed a little light.

Jessica, it's a nice looking car but it's not a Roadster, it's a convertible. 1937 Roadsters are very rare and can be identified by a chrome/stainless, removable windshield.
