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!)

Here are the production numbers for the first eleven years of the Ford Flathead V-8's courtesy of The Hemmings Book of Prewar Fords:

1932 -- 287,285
1933 -- 334,969
1934 -- 563,921
1935 -- 942,439
1936 -- 791,812
1937-- 848,608
1938 -- 410,048
1939 -- 532,152
1940-- 599,175
1941-- 600,814
1942-- 43,407

While other external circumstances caused some of the differences over the years, the overall desirability of the various models speak for themselves.

What absolute rubbish! For starters, why would you quote a non-Ford source for Ford information? But far more important, what do the years listed represent, calendar years or model years? Not one of the model years implied by your comments correspond completely within a given calendar year. As a worldwide producer of vehicles during the years lists, a model year vehicle's production could be strung out over as many as three calendar years. At best, what is shown might be calendar year production, which if that is the case, then in each instance that would include the production of at least two different model year's vehicle as there were not a single instance where a Ford model year started on January 1st and ended on December 31st.

What exactly does this mean?:
"While other external circumstances caused some of the differences over the years, the overall desirability of the various models speak for themselves."

That has to be for the calendar year in 1942. The model year production numbers I've seen are around 160,000. 1932 was a low production year but remains one of the most desired cars Ford ever built. The reverse would be 1957 in my opinion. Ford is credited with outselling Chevrolet yet subjectively a 57 Chevy brings more money and has a much higher survival rate at least in this part of the world. Rare doesn't always mean valuable but popular when new doesn't guarantee it will be collectible down the road either.

Well guys liars figure and figures lie. Just to add to the confusion The V8 Album published by the Early Ford V8 Club gives the production numbers for each model for each year. If you add up all the model numbers for 1942 you get 177,371. This would seem to be a more reasonable number than that published by Hemings.
