You must have a fire extinguisher placed at the front of your right front wheel to be allowed on an Early Ford V8 Club national meet field. If anything goes wrong anyone can grab the nearest fire extinguisher and get to extinguishing.

I disagree, at least in some cases. I think the 38 Deluxe sedans are a much nicer looking than the 38 standard sedans. I can go either way with coupes, standard or Deluxe. I solve the problem by having both a standard and a Deluxe, it only took me 25 years to make it happen (I removed that license plate from the standard almost immediately after I got the car).
