Re: My most recent acquisistion
Mike, were 6.50s optional when new? I thought all the Fords of this era rolled on 6.00s.
Is the green one a new aquisition too? Nice looking pair. Mart. |

The 6:50 was an option in 1935. I have found no proof that the option carried in to 1936. In 1939 & 1940, the 6:50 was definitely an option. So, did Ford eliminate the option for 36- 38??? I can't honestly say.

Re: My most recent acquisistion
Mike, call me picky - (I am an injunir) but you have 2" gain from the springs and 1/2" from the tyres - you only get the gain from the lower side of the tyre. The DIAMETER is 1" bigger but you only get the RADIUS worth.
So you're getting 2-1/2". I actually do this stuff for a living - honestly. Mart. |

Well, you brought a smile to my face and I thank you for that I did not measure the total gain using any exacting method. And yes, going by specifications only, your 2 1/2" is logical. It was easier for me to note with a great degree of accuracy the increase in ride height at the fenders and bumpers. measuring the overall height of the car very accurately was not as easy nor did I care if it was perfectly accurate. I do believe you do this kind of thing for a living. I was a tool & die maker with the last four years or so of my career spent as the inspector for the tool room.
