The Ford Barn

I suppose you could separate brass era Model Ts from later ones or 28/29 Model As from 30/31 models too but all I would ask is why bother. No one has ever asked about a separate forum for Model B 4-bangers, 9N 4-banger trucks, or 6-cylinder cars & trucks but I would have to suppose that nobody really cares all that much. The only major changes from 1932 thru 1953 was hydraulic brakes, open drive systems, and the automatic transmissions so there isn't a really big reason to split things up.

Most folks that hang out here enjoy the wide variety that the mix brings up. The Y-block and model T sections don't have near as much going on as the A & early V8 sections.

Works good as is. All 1932 - 1953 are early Ford V-8.

I think it would benefit the 49-53 guys as they would look at fewer posts for what they were looking for. Of course if it were running gear related they could always jump over the the 32-48 group.

I've got a model A and two 51 Mercs. I will eventually have a V8 in my model A but I also love the all the prewar V8 cars and some commercials. I really like the early V8 forum. The model A guys generally don't care to modify their stuff so I don't go there much out of respect for them. The early V8 forum is different in that we let folks do there own thing to a point. If they split them into two classifications, I'd have to venture back and forth all the time. Right now I still venture over to the HAMB so that would make three for me. To me it's just convenient. Everyone has there own opinion though and this is just my own.
