AZ Bob,i am considering selling my '37 fordor sedan.i love the car but as my body fails me besides having both hip joints replaced its getting harder to do the maintence required.im thinking of getting into a little more modern car say like a '51,'52,'53,'54 that i could drive and tinker on. nobody here will work on the early fords. the '37 before me was owned by a man since 1956 and kept in a climate controlled garage un till i purchased in 2000. in the six yrs ive done a considerable amount to it.new carb,front seat belts,wired in led third brake light, new modern radial tires,new 6volt battery,im sure there is more.i have a folder full of receips from po and myself. Tom.
