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!)

Hello, I would like to determine the value of my 1934 Ford Victoria. It is all very nice original, including paint and interior. It runs and drives, and has always been stored inside. I looked at the old cars price guide and it doesn't really have a catagory for a car like this. Any help would be appreciated. I will try to post some pictures if I can figure it out.

Try NADA or Old Cars Weekly price guide books for "general" guidance on value.

Thank you for the input. I am not a "car guy", mostly into antique motorcycles. In that world, the unrestored originals in very nice shape are always worth more than the restored bikes. I was curious if that were the case with this old car. It is way too nice to restore in my opinion.

So glad you feel that way Jim, and yes, an unrestored car in pristine
condition is rare, certainly more valuable dollarwise, and more respected
by those in the know. Our club, was one of the leaders in recognizing the
originals as something to preserve rather than to restore. We have an
award, the "Rouge", for such a car, presented for each of three different
areas of a car: The Exterior, the Interior, and the Engine/Chassis.

Jim, photos would be helpful in determining the value.Original cars are only original once, so preserving them is important. Real nice originals are always highly desired by car people. It sounds like you may have a car that was in your family or a close family connection. Cars like this draw a lot of attention at car shows and especially at Early Ford V-8 Meets.

Jim, that's a beauty. It looks like a car that used to be in Northern California. Is it from Nor Cal?
