Re: Where was my car built
On the firewall of my 48 Ford woodie is the aluminum patent stamp that is always replaced by "restorers". On this stamp in the lower right is a blank space that will have the abbreviated assembly...

Re: Woodie whatzit?
The four long pieces of metal are to hold the rubber floor mats. Once fitted, the edge of the mat slips under them. Long for the front, short for the rear.

Re: Car cover
Try the Canvas Shoppe in Flint Michigan (1-800-345-3670). I had them make a cover for my 1948 Woodie Wagon. Since they didn't have a template, they drove drove down from Flint (100 miles) measured...

Re: Cars with original radios
Wolfman Jack used to be on XERB and I know that was broadcast out of Tijuana on some tower that must have been 1000 feet high.

Re: Cars with original radios
I've had two people try and get the AM radio in the 48 Woodie to work with nothing but static. I also had the best radio shop here in Detroit get the AM/FM Thumbscrew in my 68 Charger working. When...

Re: Mercury build date
I tried the same thing on my 48 Ford Woodie and the best way to figure an approximate date is by using what you have. Check the glass. If it is original, that gives an approximate month. I don't know...

Re: New rebuilt carb no start help
Is the needle and seat assembly jammed shut? Sounds like no gas is getting into the carb - but I can't explain no "pop" or backfire with gas poured into the carb or a shot of starting spray.

Re: yet another car show on tv.
South Beach Classics with the bald guy and with his plastic wife would make a used car salesmen from the 1950's blush. When you can see the orange peel on the car from a video, the paint isn't just...

Re: 47 Ford woodie cowl side antenna - Correct?
In the book "Famous Ford Woodies" by Sorenson, there doesn't seem to be a forthright answer to antenna location. On page 184, the picture of Gene Autry's 47 Mercury wagon has the antenna with two...

Re: 1948 data plate/ patent plate
The re-pop plates don't have the space for the assembly plant. Your TC is "Twin Citiy" or the Minneapolis plant. My 48 Woodie has got LB for Long Beach. Frankly, I'd keep the original plate with the...

I just heard that the deadline was pushed to Oct. 1. GM was building transmissions there up until it closed due to their bankruptcy. Considering the taxpapers bailed them out, you would think GM...
