Re: Mandeville Motors 1940
There's a Banner Ford in Mandeville, LA, possibly they took over where Mandeville Motors left off. Doubtful they would have any old records but they may shed some light on the former dealer, who knows? It's worth a phone call.

Deuce.......I think you can go through the Benson Ford Institute. You can go online.

Re: Mandeville Motors 1940
55 ......I had a friend of mine that was looking for something on his '36 and he went to them and he was absolutely surprised as to what he was able to get from them. It was 3 or 4 years ago, but the detail was perfect.

Re: Mandeville Motors 1940
The Benson Ford institute's website looks quite extensive. Is there a specific department or email address you used to submit your request. They look to big to handle a random "cold call" email effectively.
I guess the short version of all that is " who or what department specifically did you contact?" Thanks, T Edited: After a little serendipitous digging I found it! http://www.thehenryford.org/research...onRecords.aspx Last edited by Terranova; 10-03-2014 at 08:22 AM. |

Unfortunately, production records for flathead Fords were destroyed in the 1970 Rotunda fire
