Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

kirkstad,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel this may be a similar case that my car could of went thru. Will be interesting to see what the results hold for this "Title" journey.

Mr Rogers,

Yes, I agree. Thank you for your comments and input. I may first call out to the OH DMV and see what info they can provide, then present my case to KY depending on what they say.

trjford8,

Thank you for the advice and pointers. I will utilize your guidance on this matter. I hope it can be worked out smoothly. I would like to get a title made with this car's serial number attached to it. I have the 35-36 book, what a great resource of information thus far. I will present this book to both the OH DMV and KY DMV.

Jon

My 36 has matching frame and trans. numbers. In NJ when changing a title on an antique auto it has to be mailed to Trenton,and not done at a local DMV. When I received the new title,they had added an additional number, original number being 182937169, the number they assigned was 1823937169 an easy mistake I guess. Fortunately I kept a copy of the old title and was able to get it corrected locally,but now my title reads as a corrected title which is annoying, because I will have to make sure I keep all these records to answer any new owners questions about it. If I hadn't made a copy of the old title I would of had a very difficult time getting it corrected, because the burden of prove would be on me. I do notice that my NJ title does not have a title number, but the state I purchased the car does, perhaps at some point a title number was assigned instead of the VIN. number, as in my case DMV does make mistakes.

My vote is: at some time the paper title was lost at a re-sold time. Seller provided a "bill of sale" and new buyer didn't look at body for ID #. Applied for new title and new number was next to be issued by DMV. Talking out loud .... I believe if/when you move to your new location the DMV person looking at the frame number and a Ford Doc showing authentic area ... and looking at your Bill of Sale would re-title it.

In reading your post and looking at the V-8 Club's 35-36 book your car was produced in April 1936 according to the frame and transmission number. I would go to the Ohio DMV with title and a copy of the 35-36 book and show them the # on the title is incorrect. If you have any other old documents showing prior owners, etc. take the documents with you. The Ohio DMV should make the correction and explain what "conversion" means on the title. As 42 wagon suggests that title may have come from another '36 that was in the collection when the collection was sold. This may take awhile to sort this out , but it is not impossible. Some states years ago were non title states and I wonder if Ohio was one of those?

The #18- prefix was used on all Ford V-8 engines starting with 18-1 in 1932 and continuing sequentially up to 1942. Ford started using different prefixes after the war. Therefore Ketron's number on the car is correct including the 18- prefix for 36. The fact that he has a title with a different number is troublesome as he cannot prove the car he is standing next to is in fact the car he purchased. What is probable is that if this car came from a collection of 50 cars he was given the wrong title by mistake.

Why is the Title marked "conversion" ?
