The Ford Barn

Just a few of my un-favorite things.

Ford never called the Open Pickup a Roadster Pickup (look up the term Roadster)

The Convertible Sedan body number was 400-A not A400.

VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number. VIN Number would be Vehicle Identification Number NUMBER.

If only I were less picky.

If those are your only concerns, life must be treating you very well.

Bob are you currently making parts for the A400 or 400A?

Bob,
I sell titles on the side, as I collect them. Youngsters always asking for rpu titles......

I explain they never said that. some get it and many dont. LOL

they usually just say truck or box.

Oh this could go on forever!! About 5 years ago I went down this road of folks using incorrect nomenclature that always makes it a struggle when people are asking questions. To take this topic a little further, go have a look at THIS thread.

You forgot to mention the use of AR. I feel your angst, but the hobby jargon is not going to change no matter how hard you try!
