Bill, I'd like any supporting documentation in regard to the so called '36 tool box option. I've never heard of that.

Ketron, If you like the greyhound and the looks of it leave it on! I had one on my 36 Tudor sedan I used to own. If nothing else it’s amusing when those who don’t know better comment on your classic jaguar. That happened to me many times. Unlike dual exhaust or other add-on items this would be very easy to remove if you decided to.

In a separate thread, please post a picture of your 1936 wooden tool box that goes inside the rumble seat area over the right rear fender. Steve in Denver

Thank's for that last post Don, we all need something to smile or laugh about these days. I have a friend with a 36 who is very particular about accessories on his car being authentic and Ford approved, but installed a greyhound anyway, because he is a veterinarian. Frank

Jon, Most of these after market dogs were produced during the 35-36 model years. Ads for these dogs appeared in Ford Dealer and Service News during that time period. Ford Dealer and Service Field was a non Ford authorized publication sent to Ford dealers advertising a multitude of after market items for Ford cars and trucks.

Bill, so as not to hijack this thread, in a separate thread, please post a picture of your '36 5W with Rumble Seat TOOL BOX. I think I have replicated it, but would appreciate seeing an original. Steve

I appreciate all the responses guys. Many thanks; and thanks for the corrections on the greyhound, still new and learning a lot so far. So we know this greyhound is an "non-Ford authorized domestic accessory" since this was a domestic car (thank you for this clarification). Although, perhaps a possibility that a Ford dealer provided this aftermarket greyhound back in 1936 upon customer purchase of this car brand new if requested by the customer (or dealer promotion). Is there any way to tell what year this aftermarket greyhound was manufactured??? "F 36" resides casted into the metal underneath the ornament attachment area if this provides any clues. I would really like to discover if this is a genuine 1930's era manufactured aftermarket part for 1936 or something made "later" after the 1930's time period. The fit and finish mount over the "V8" on the previous pictures shows a rather interesting fit over the "8". The metal arched edge is not a perfect fit siting behind the "8". If this is a period aftermarket part that we know was produced in the 1930's (1936) I will leave it on the car. If its a re-pro made after WWII, I will likely take it off the car. The only thing that has me scratching my head is the patina of the greyhound (prior to polishing) matched that of the original grille and surrounding original metal areas (this car has never been restored cosmetically/mechanically). I would think if a greyhound was added later the patina would not match the rest of the original metal patina on the car. Just a thought. Please let me know your thoughts, would like to close out this head scratcher!
