New '35 Purchase
Good evening to you all! I just purchased a '35 Tudor Deluxe and have been searching and reading a lot on this forum. I must say that you guys are awesome with the input and experience and patience that you put out for others to absorb and use. I have owned and restored a '46 Ford pick up and a '40 Ford Convertible back in the mid '70's, so I am finding now just how much I have forgotten or just don't know. The '35 I now own is in very nice condition with 42K miles on the odometer, complete restoration in 1990, and owned by the original owner and family up until 2 years ago. So technically I'm the 3rd owner, I guess. I got the car yesterday and have already put about 150 miles on it. Runs great! No real mechanical problems except for the drive-line vibration between 35-43 mph. Just enough to aggravate the ride. So tomorrow I'll get underneath and check the drive shaft lubrication that I've been reading about here and let you know the outcome. I look forward to learning more from you all and again want to thank you!

Love the look of your 1935 Ford Deluxe Tudor Touring Sedan, but where are your Chrome Strips on the Running Boards? The Chrome Strips on the Running Boards were standard only on the Deluxe Tudor and Deluxe Fordor Touring Sedans, and the Convertible Sedans. They were optional on the other body styles. Your Deluxe Tudor Touring Sedan should have them? |

That's a just plain beautiful car. The kind that doesn't have a bad angle......

Re: New '35 Purchase
Hello. Nice looking car. The 35 shouldn't have a driveshaft center bearing so the only lube you can apply is to the UJ housing. Many people recommend John Deere Cornhead grease for that application.

Re: New '35 Purchase
Beautiful. Hope you get many miles of enjoyment from it. I am somewhat limited in my restoration/rebuild skills and I also enjoy this forum as a great resource as those with experience and knowledge share their insight in a kindly way.
