Re: The opposite of Freeway Driving

Thanks for the pics Terry ! Back roads for us, even in the late model. Old Fords like back roads. Best heaters in the world. Dad had a Packard & mom had a Ford. Ford heater was BEST!!!!

Re: 53 ford customline windshield motor replace

The motor in my 53 didn't work well till I gave it a dose auto trans fluid. Let it set after manually exercising it. Just a small amount will swell the paddle seal & mine worked fairly good.
