I started the 35 Pickup today Its been two years since it has started. I move it to the garage at the house. I need to change the oil, grease it, new tires and put twin exhaust on it. Also clean it up. Its a bit dusty from sitting. Once I get the 35 ready to drive then to get the 40 ready to sell. At my age its time to let go of my Junkers so someone else can enjoy them I guess. That hard to do.

Q: is this a '37?

i think the humpback trunk to be the nicest body style, but i don't

recognize the front.

and to further flummox me, i don't think i have ever seen a grille which

wraps under like this one.

thanks,

sid

Are you serious?

Ford made sedans every year.

1935 deluxe touring car. Original colors including the wheels. Only the touring car had the humpback trunk. The deluxe and standard were slantback.

i did not know that "touring" was an early option or even term used to identify.

i can't understand (from YT presenters' examples such as Paul Shinn) how the early Model A cars were pattered from the factory. perhaps a jolt to the motoring public as the country emerged from the Depression? apparently those color splashes continued into the decade.

I went to an “Antique Tractor and Engine Show” at the Raitt Homestead Farm Museum in Eliot Maine last weekend. I brought my “59” stationary engine that powered a water pump at the S.D. Warren Papermill in Westbrook Maine. I think it was the only V8 there on Friday. A lot of meticulously restored tractors, one-lunger and hit & miss engines.Real works of art for sure. Met a bunch of nice people. One guy lives about twenty minutes from, claims he has 30-40 single cylinder and hit-miss engines. Because of his age, he wants to start selling a few……soooo……..I think I got room for one………Mark

Put top down on the 38 convertible; went to a show, got a trophy, 70 miles

slowforty · 08-11-2025, 11:20 PM

Removed the Broken hood release hand on my 40 Deluxe. Good thing the Son was there to help. Can no longer bend over backwards and reach over my head.(77)
Tried to fit the Repop handle but it looks nice but does not fit correctly. A little work with the die grinder should work. Quit after a hour or so too hot. 89 degrees. Will try tomorrow if it aint to hot. Update later.

i know what your talkin about bending backwards looking upwards towards raised hood to r and replace hood handle. even harder to remove hood lay on blanket on floor. ive just recently chose to replace the pitted handle with restored re chromed orig. i used one of those smaller round bathroom normal mirror on one side and magnifieing on other side with stand. set the mirror on the radiator stradling the cap. view is upside down and backwards but seemed to work for my old neck and spine.

1940 hood handle.
This was a repoop.(And I do mean poop)
Required much modification.
Would not fit in the stock hood ornament.
Required modification
Bracket inside required modification.
Thanks to my son for all the help.
(He can stand in positions for a Long Time that I can only dream about.)
He did need some help from me as he did not understand 85 year old technology.
Why didnt they use Phillips Screws?
They were not invented yet.
The piece works well after all the work.

Happy Motoring!
