Yes! I saw Frank's '49 Conv. at the Foundation Museum a couple of weeks ago. Will certainly miss visiting with Frank though!

Re: Dash color

I agree with 38 coupe. The Deluxe models also had 2 horns while the standard had only one. Appears to be a nice car.

Re: Cutting a Ford Scrip Battery to remove the Optima Battery

David, I believe that you are correct in that Ken is referring to his '32.

Just curious...How would you handle this situation? Replace the battery with a regular "tractor type" lead-acid battery,...
