Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons

Mercman and FoMoCoMe, I absolutely LOVE the '61 Comet wagon. Thanks for posting the pics!



I've sworn off buying more old cars, but if I ever run across one of those...I might have to have to...

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons

That's my impression, too, Sal. In one of the previous discussions about the 2dr ht Merc wagon, someone tried to suggest that Mopar also made one, and even had a pic of a '60's era version in drag...

Re: 1954 Ford Ranch Wagon door panels

I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting to know, but here are photos of my '54 Ranch Wagon's rear panels that were on my computer. (Car's in storage.) Don't know about the sedan, but since you said...

Re: Under hood Insulation

Thanks for the link, Kultulz, and the masking tape tip. I'll try that 3M product. My T-Bird is a '65.



As far as the trunk goes, my '61 Mercury trunk has the torsion bar setup, but I don't...

Re: Under hood Insulation

Speaking of this stuff...what is the best adhesive to use to keep under hood insulation attached to the surface? I used the tackiest stickiest spray-on adhesive I could find, but the insulation...

Re: 54 Mercury Fuel pump question

I'm going off of memory here...maybe some of you can help. I recall that my '54 Ford V-8 (EBU) had a different fuel pump (with a different actuator rod/arm/whatever) than later Y-blocks. The later...

Re: 1960 and 1961 Mercury Owners - Hubcaps?

You're welcome Mercman, and thanks for the heads up.


BTW, if anyone knows of a source for that missing driver side trim end piece seen (or not seen, actually) in the more close up of my two...

Re: 1965 Thunderbird console texture

I have a '65 T-Bird and I know what you're talking about. When freshening up some interior surfaces I pondered filling in some holes drilled in the lower passenger side dash, which has a similar kind...

Re: 1960 and 1961 Mercury Owners - Hubcaps?

Here are the original wheel covers on my original '61 Monterey. Hope it helps. The car's in storage so I'm sending pics I took several years ago.

Re: “You in a heap of trouble, boy...”

I definitely remember this ad as a kid. I posted it a year ago or so on another forum. I don't know if the ad inspired the movie Vanishing Point, or if the movie inspired the ad!

Re: Do no harm - buying a classic car

Good point made by the video: Original old cars in nice condition are more marketable than modded cars in equivalent condition. People often believe that their tastes in customization are universally...

Re: 56 ford engine swap

Is there something drastically wrong with the current engine's condition? Worn rings or something? If not, I'd encourage you to keep the 6 in that car if that's how it was originally equipped.

Re: '61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.

Hi Kultulz. My reservoir doesn't have a filter. I can't remember when they started using those, but I remember reading that they put them in after they made my car. It's possible that air was still...

Re: '61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.

Just an update. The 6 cylinder pressure hose for the power steering on this car worked pretty good as a substitute for the 8 cylinder hose (which I absolutely could not find.) It was only a couple of...

Re: '61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.

I think that does help. THANKS. I ordered the new old stock hose for a 6 cylinder that I mentioned. It's number is C1AA-3A-719-C. The only difference is the # is the C vs. the D, which I guess is the...

Re: '61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.

Here are some pics hopefully.


Question: I found a NOS hose for a '61 Fairlane. The Fairlane was full sized in '61, so I don't think that's a problem but one of the tubing ends is a little...

Re: '61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.

According to them, it isn't the hose, it's how the fittings and end tubes attach to the hose. I believe the fittings and tubes are very specific for clearance reasons (into the control valve.) I...

'61 Galaxie or Monterey owners...please help w/ power steering.

Hi. I have a '61 Mercury Monterey...I believe it and the Ford Galaxie share the same power steering system components. I'm guessing I'm more likely to encounter Galaxie owners than Monterey owners...

Re: Origingal Color of the 54 Y Block

It might be because of age and heat and other factors, but what little original paint remains on my 239 block looks a bit darker than what the repainted engine in the photo is. The car is in storage,...
