President’s Message – Spring 2010 by Carl Pate, EFR 91

In November 2009, before the snow started falling in the Northeast of

the US, I drove to Detroit for the annual author book fair sponsored by

the Detroit Public Library. The highlight of the trip was the opportunity

to meet EFR friends in Ohio and Michigan. Michael Skinner gave my

wife and I a personal tour of "Ford in Detroit". The hospitality we

received is a testament to the relationships that the antique car hobby

creates. I hope you all had a great holiday and New Year …

Some of you may not have heard but I had to go in for some

“restoration”. I had no symptoms of any health issue but in October during scheduled

checkup, my EKG showed some slight changes. After tests and an angiogram on

December 30, 2010, I was advised by the surgeon that I needed some repair - double-by-

pass surgery. On Jan 18, 2010, I had the surgery at the Hartford Hospital and everything

went well. My recovery should be complete before the touring season starts this spring.

So much about me, let‟s talk about EFR ….

At the end of 2009, after the board of

director election, the Early Ford Registry

members were advised by email that the

three incumbents were re-elected. After

the election of the three expiring board

members, officer voting information was

sent out to the Board of Directors and the

2009 Officers of the organization were re-

elected.

The Board discussed the current dues

structure. They feel that the current dues

level of $10.00 should be retained. Most

members are receiving their Newsletter by

internet connection. There are some

members that have been receiving the

news letter by mail. With high cost of

printing and mailing, we determined that

the cost to mail the newsletters is greater

than the annual dues. (continued on page 2)

President’s Message – Spring 2010 (continued from page 1)

The members with internet connections are subsidizing those that prefer paper. The

Board approved an optional “Newsletter by USPO” dues fee of an additional $10.00 per

year.

From a State of the Union … The 1903-1909 Early Ford Registry, Inc. has never been

better. Unlike the governments around the world, we do not have any debt and confidence

in the organization keeps getting better and bigger. The newsletter and website are top

quality, due to the efforts of Dave Dunlavy.

The exposure of our organization to the world has been helped by the efforts of members

in soliciting others and the world wide distribution of my book to 17 countries (which

contains information about our organization). It is the time of the year that I encourage

all members to get involved in the organization – EFR belongs to all members not just the

Officers and Directors. As more hands get involved in the organization, the work for all

gets lighter and more ideas are put forth to make the organization better.

One of the things the Board of Directors will be discussing this year, is various ways to

get the members more involved. Additionally, we will look at the structure of the

organization to see if others can help out the effort of few.

The goal is to make sure that the Early Ford Registry stays one of the best antique car

organizations in the world. By helping owners and those interested in Early Ford cars,

we expand the knowledge and interest of all and indirectly positively affect the value of

early Ford cars. From location and repair of parts, solving mechanical problems, helping

others find what they need and want, and the collection and sharing of historical

information, we find that the appreciation of others is a greater reward than all of our own

personal projects. Above all, remember communication is the key to our success. We

continue to look for ways to have more information available for members.

If you know of someone who is interested in joining the organization, we have a brochure

on the website that you can read and print. It is also possible to sign up and pay your dues

on-line.

If you are where winter is coming to a close, stay safe and get ready for the next season.

If you are having summer, enjoy the touring season and drive safely. During my

recovery from recent surgery, I want to thank those that have offered their support and

help.

Secretary-Treasurer’s Report by Dave Dunlavy, EFR41

We are about to reach another milestone. The 2000th posting on our

Internet Web Forum. We have about 125 users and over 600 topics.

Several members tell me they check the forum daily. It has become a

valuable source of information. It is so easy to ask our members (in

many countries and several continents), what their opinion is on about

any related subject. It's like the camaraderie of an on-going Club

Meeting.

I want to thank those members who stepped up to the plate and donated a total of $825 to

the Richard Oswald Model N Restoration project. You will read a report in this

Newsletter about the special need your contribution filled.

The Board of Directors election was a great success, thanks to you members that used the

stamped return envelope to vote and pay your dues. 64% of the 146 members voted in the

election.

In January, the Board created a new option for members in the continental USA, desiring

to receive their Newsletters and other correspondence by USPO. The option is $10 per

year, in addition to the annual dues. There are a very few members outside the continental

USA, who were receiving Newsletters by mail. Those members should contact me so we

can work out a schedule of fees for them.

This should be an active tour and swap meet season. I hope to see you at Chickasha or at

some other event this summer. We just issued member number 240. Our growth

continues strong.

Keep „em on the Road,

Dave Dunlavy

Chickasha Swap Meet Meeting – Thursday, March 18th at 4:00pm

We will have a Meet & Greet get together at the Chickasha Pre-WWII Swap Meet

again this year. It will be held on Thursday, March 18th

at 4:00pm in the Fair Board

Meeting room on the 2nd

floor of the North building. Please look for signs posted

around the meet to confirm this. There will be introductions and show-and-tell, so bring

your new items to show. You will have plenty of time to meet new EFR members and

visit with old friends. We will have some snacks and beverages, too. Mike Ersland

informs us they will be using the new entrance to the fairgrounds on the Northeast corner

this year.

Remember: Thursday, March 18th

in Fair Board Meeting room at 4:00pm.

The Richard Oswald Model N Project

(The following report was

filed by telephone recently by

a very busy Jerry Van.)

Thanks to donations

members included with

their dues, the wheels

are painted magnificent

red. The hubs and rims

were part of the original donation. The

wheels had new spokes installed by one of

our members donations.

The next step is to mount the tires which are new. They were part of the original parts

donated by the late Richard Oswald. Some of the extra parts included with Richard's gift

have been sold on Ebay to get cash to purchase parts needed for the project.

Recapping work accomplished:

The frame and front axle are done.

The engine has been overhauled and is ready to be installed.

The transmission, including the frame, is ready to go.

The differential is ready for assembly.

The body and seat are bare wood, ready for final work, priming and finish paint.

The assembly of the car is being done at the Piquette Ford Plant "T-Plex". It's impossible

to predict with any certainty exactly when the complete car will be finished, but work is

progressing. Jerry and Norm Boltz have been

doing an excellent job of stretching your

donations and making the most of the donated

parts.

If you would like to help with the project,

either by donating labor or cash, please

contact Jerry VanOoteghem at

[email protected] or call 313.881.2813.

(From all of us, "Thanks Guys, Great Job.")

A "Bones" Restoration by Tim Morsher, EFR 126

Do you really love these old Fords? Do you dream of one day owning

and taking care of one? You may think it impossible, with the price

and value of where these relics have risen to, but there are many

different ways of reaching your goal. It doesn‟t just take a large

bankroll, and if you are willing to search out a deal, and put forth the

effort, it can be done without hitting the lottery. There are as many

ways to get into the old car hobby as there are different makes and

models of cars out there. One such way is to take on a “BONES” restoration.

My short story from a couple of issues ago told of my adventure with the Magic Barn in

Crestline, Ohio. That unique place looked like thousands of similar places in Ohio and

elsewhere, but it gave me a great start on a couple of Model N Fords, and a Model F

Ford.

It does take a good deal of vision to see something of value assembled from what appears

to be junk, but I have been doing this same thing for 30 years in my full time business of

antique coin-op machine restoration. These type of antiques led a hard life, possibly

harder even than vintage automobiles. Often times the early examples of arcade,

gambling and music machines were found incomplete and missing parts.

Since my barn find of these piles of 3 early incomplete cars, I have found nearly all the

missing pieces. Some parts were copied by using broken or damaged original parts, but

often these parts were themselves replaced by finding better original parts. It is a constant

goal of mine to upgrade what you have, and this can all be done before final assembly.

Now, back to the point of this short

article is a “BONES” restoration

from over 50 years ago. Sure, it is

fairly common to do one now, but

let‟s go back in time to the early

1950‟s. LD “Larry” Porter (yes,

his name was LD….everyone

called him Larry) had set his goal

way back then to assemble a

collection of every model Ford

made before the Model T. He had

already obtained all the “easy”

ones.

(continued on page 6)


Volume 8 Issue 1


A "Bones" Restoration (continued from page 5)

If you can call a model A, C, F, K, N, R, S , and for good measure a 1909 touring and a

1915 coupelet easy! The Model B Ford of 1904 was the really elusive one.

It is possibly the rarest and most valuable antique Ford out there. I'm not sure how he

would have beat the bushes back in the pre-internet days, but he did hear about one that

wasn‟t for sale in Missouri. Off he went, loading the family up in the station wagon, off

to Missouri.

It was an old time auto service station,

long closed and from the picture, looks in

pretty sorry shape. The old proprietor was

glad to show off his antique auto, but it

wasn‟t for sale, as he was going to restore

it one day. Haven‟t we all heard that

before?

As you can see from the pictures, it is hard

to even describe the deplorable condition

of the old Ford. Parts were scattered everywhere, and trees and vegetation growing up in

the chassis parts. How would a person even know what type of car this was? It took quite

a vision, especially back then, to see the value of this scrap pile. It is amazing the metal

escaped the WWII scrap drives, and the wooden parts didn‟t end up in the fireplace or

wood stove.

The car wasn‟t for sale, but Larry‟s

perseverance paid off. Remember that

salesmanship from the story of the

“Magic Barn”? Before the day was

over, Larry owned the piles of car,

loaded it and the family back into and

likely onto the wagon , and headed back

home to Ohio. I asked him if he

remembered how much he paid for it,

and he thought it was $400. That was a

fair bit of money in the early 1950‟s ,

and in most people's minds, would have

been enough to have him committed.



Volume 8 Issue 1



Imagine the excitement when arriving home,

unloading the treasure, and then discovering that

he had purchased model B Ford #1. I have a

pencil rubbing of the serial number in my

possession, a gift from Larry.

This special auto can now be seen in all it‟s

original glory, at the A.A.C.A Museum in

Hershey, Pennsylvania. The skill he and his

family put into this Model B Ford still shows, as

it looks like

brand new, even

after being

restored over 50

years ago.

One of my very special treasures is a hubcap medallion

from this very car, replaced because of a small ding in

the outer edge. I carry it with me daily, using it for a

pocket watch Fob, encouraging me to stick with it, and

someday my piles of bones will come back to life, too.

Do you know where Model B Fords are?

We continue to collect information about the most rare of

the early Fords. If you have first person information or

stories about any of the several cars left, we'd like to

feature more stories about the Model B Ford in future

The EFR Technical Corner by ??? (Murray F. is still on vacation)

How much oil do the early Ford transmissions hold?

Well, we don't have an answer for

all the early models, but we decided

to measure the exact amount that the

Model F transmission holds up to

the bottom of the gear case hole. It

took 18 ounces of John Deere Multi-

luber to fill it. We rotated the gear

case and watched the action of the

"pourable grease", as they call it,

cover the triple gears. It covered all

parts of the gears and has stayed on

the gears more than a month after we

filled the case.

It's interesting to note the "How to run the Ford - Model F" factory manual states on page

15-16, "This plug should be removed at least every twenty days, and one pint of oil

poured into the transmission. It might be well to remove the oil that has been in the case

before pouring any new oil into it."

E & J 366 Headlamps will be made by Vintage Brass Works.

Ron Gocek announced he is making a short run

of the lamps used on NRS Fords. Delivery time

will be based on the order deposits received. He

has several orders and estimates delivery at

Hershey. The lamps are $1250 a pair and Ron

requires a $600 down payment to secure your

place in line. The lamps will have a curved nickel

plated reflector. The burner base and E&J style

burner elbow are furnished, but they no longer

furnish the burner since they are available from

Lang's or Snyder's. They do offer a 12 volt halogen bulb set in an original style base

which simply screws in place of the original burner allowing you to run the wires out of

sight thru the gas tubing. If you have any questions, contact Ron at Vintage Brass

Works, 600A Creamery RD, Nazareth, PA 18064-8822. The shop phone is 610.614.1943

and Ron's cell is 484.264.8726.
