Regional Group No. 157 - JULY 2020
PRESIDENT’S
PREAMBLE

       Well at last we seem to be in Winter as we ward off a few icy blasts from down South.
I couldn’t help noticing my Liquid Amber tree which is a great guide to season changes
highlighted what a dry summer we had when it dropped its leaves this year. Usually they
create a deep carpet on my lawn and footpath but this year there were probably just as many
but the leaves were barely half the size that they usually are, no water no size. I wonder if
that works for the overweight!!! Nature is certainly amazing at adapting and haven’t we all
been adapting to our different way of life. As the restrictions get lifted, it almost seems a task
to have to look at the calendar and see if you have anything on before accepting an
invitation. Isn’t it nice though to be able to go and see your friends and take a leisurely drive
around the countryside again. One positive aspect of this lockdown time is that Nola and I
have had plenty of time to go for drives and picnics and discover places not so far from
home that I have never visited and of course during the week there are not so many people
except down by the sea from Manly to Redcliffe. Weekends when everybody is able to get
out and relieve the cabin fever are very busy and not so much fun. For those of you still
working, you haven’t been forgotten and we will include a Sunday run in the near future as
things improve.
       With that in mind, I am looking forward to our first run on the 14th July to Lota for our
first Tuesday run in what seems like ages. It’s just south of the Manly Boat Harbour where
we had the last one at Manly. (see the events page) The Club rooms are now open but the
seating is separated and the kitchen closed until restrictions change. With that in mind and
there being no pressing issues for the Club at this time the Committee has decided to forego
the July meeting and deal with any unexpected issues at the Tuesday runs or by phone. For
myself and most members, the meeting is not the important part of the night, it is the
socialising aspect which makes it all worthwhile. We will aim towards the August meeting
but will just have to see what the situation is as we get closer. I want you all to stay safe.
       As usual people with nothing to do come up with weird ideas or revisit old ones. The
old “Cash for Clunkers” has once again reared its ugly head. This wonderful scheme to boost
new-car sales, reduce vehicle emissions, and supposedly cut the Nation’s Motor injury and
death toll, could be revisited after discussions between Victoria’s Automobile Chamber and
the Office of the Federal Environment Minister. The VACC stated it has discussed the idea
with the Government and has established some guidelines with the Victorian Government’s
Environment Protection Authority. They are looking to fund a vehicle pilot program for
dismantlers across the country so it can assess the environmental impact and then show the
Federal Government the benefits of the scheme. It will be the second time in a decade that
the Cash-for-Clunkers proposal has reached the Federal Government following similar plans
in 2011 by the Gillard Government. It is acknowledged that there is a lot of work to do –
particularly surrounding the disposal of the “old cars” and it is felt that there are many
unanswered questions. The VACC CEO stated that the reason the scheme didn’t work a

VOLUME 45, ISSUE 6-2020                                                                        3

decade ago was because there was insufficient research into what happens to the disposed
vehicles!! Doesn’t this sound familiar when we hear the glowing praise for electric cars but
the reality is, that the safe, environmental disposal of the batteries, is a huge and multiplying
problem that is yet to be resolved. I am reminded of one of the Greening Australia projects
near my old school where literally thousands of trees were planted along the parklike edges
of the creek to beautify the area. A very noble concept but unfortunately no funds were
allocated to water the trees and within the year there were none left!!
       On an even more concerning level are the numbers of cars which are yet to have their
airbags changed. Apparently over 250,000 cars are still on the road with unsafe airbags and
these bags have now reached the dangerous stage to the extent that the car should not be
driven at all. The effects and the projectile pieces from these types of bags are horrendous
and you can only hope that owners will take the time to get their vehicle checked and it costs
nothing.
       The new F150 is going to be a ripper as Ford seems to have put a fair bit of effort into
it. (The video is about 40 minutes) There are some nice touches such as the under seat
lockable storage area , the 4-7kw generator hidden in the tray for power tools and the folding
gear lever which then gives you a flat workstation over the transmission hump. To add a bit
of spice to Ford’s promotion, Dodge have just coincidentally advertised a Ram which is
supposed have about 1,000 HP to perhaps take some of the limelight off the new 150 and
Raptor which is also rumoured to have stratospheric HP. I also hear rumours of a V8 in the
Ranger. Now wouldn’t that stir the local market!!
       Episode three of “Quarantine Time Fixups” – The wait for the sender for the petrol
gauge for the Chev is finally over and after one of those five minute jobs that took about half
an hour it appears to work. How well it reflects the real state of affairs is yet to be tested!
The porthole that I made in the boot floor however, was time well spent. Next, I had noticed
that the TR7 was dripping a little bit of oil on the floor, (a well-known attribute of Triumphs
both two and four wheels!!) which was annoying and so I sought out the cause. It appeared
to be coming from the front of the rocker cover. After selecting the correct Allen key I found
that the front lower bolt had no tension on it at all. A quick gentle tighten to match the rest
and so far no more leaks!! Why would one be loose, it’s a car!!! I’m getting all sorts of jobs
done, this quarantine business is great!!!!!!!
Enjoy your driving and go for a picnic,
Regards, Adrian

To make you smile:
I was driving this morning when I saw an RACQ van parked. The driver was sobbing un-
controllably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself that guy's heading for a break-
down.
My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that
                                                   2:30am? Luckily for him I was still up
                                                   playing my Bagpipes.!!

                   EDITOR’S COMMENT
Well I hope you all have made some progress on your projects during lockdown.
Several members have sent me short articles and photos for which I am extremely grateful.
Sandy Horsford has set a challenge for the V8 Ladies, to send in a short story on your
Covid projects. Even if it’s a gardening story we would love to hear from you.
From what I have been told, you also like the recipes that are shared, so keep those coming
too please.
From our point of view, nothing much changed for us during lockdown. I spent my days
either in the shed (as usual) or carrying out some house maintenance jobs (long overdue).
Jo seemed to keep busy turning large pieces of coloured fabric into small pieces then sew-
ing all back together again!
It will be great to start our Tuesday runs again next month, and we might fit in a few Sunday
ones too. As long as we do the distancing thing and lots of handwashing we should all be
safe.
Take care—Dave Healey, Editor

LOCKDOWN MAINTENANCE
                 Allan Horsford

Allan giving his 1940 FORD Deluxe a drink, with well known member Errol Leggett
         1950
in attendance.

 Because the Easter Rallies were cancelled, I decided to overhaul the brakes, using the
 whole four days plus a few extra waiting for the postal delivery to bring more cups to
 finish the job. All wheels and brake drums were removed. The rear hubs proved to be a
 challenge in removing them. I used a 3 leg puller tensioned up tight, hit it with a 4lb
 hammer ,however, the brake drum would not budge off the axle taper. I then heated the
 centre of the brake drum, hit it with an 8lb hammer, and after 3 hits it dislodged.
 The wheel cylinders were next, removing and replacing the cups ,only to find that I didn't
 have enough for the job. So ,a trip down to Mackay, 120 kilometres, only to find that the
 business didn't have enough in stock. So I had to wait a week for them to be delivered by
 post. I replaced the fluid with silicone brake fluid.
 I took the 40 for a test run and the brakes performed well, but what a job!. The next job
 is to replace the gearbox mounts, as these cause a jumpy clutch, especially in reverse.
 Sandy and I are looking forward to catching up with everybody at the Toowoomba rally
 in May 2021. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! We will have to bring our warm gear, however, I have
 installed a heater which makes a big difference to our travelling comfort.
 We hope everyone is in good health,
  Allan

FORD NUT CASE
You are probably thinking what is this all about? Who am I referring to?
People that are not interested in old cars probably refer to us as a Ford Nut Case, however,
the Ford Nut Case that I am referring to is the one that Ford Salesmen took around to the
various Ford Dealers in an effort to sell parts.
I first saw one in the Library of the Early Ford V8
Foundation Museum in Auburn, Indiana back in
2013.
Some kind donor had donated this rare piece of early
Ford history to the Museum.
There was a sample of every type of bolt, nut,
washer, spring etc that was used in the Early Fords
stitched to the calico "page", together with a label
listing the part number. It sure was an impressive
item for todays Ford collector.
Unfortunately, over time (70 years at a minimum)
quite a few of the attachments had worked their way
loose and eventually lost.
Even with these missing parts, the whole case is still
very heavy.
Imagine the poor salesman having to hawk this heavy case around to the various Ford
dealers in his territory.
While checking the swap meet at the 2018 Grand Nationals in Dearborn, I saw another one,
and this one was for sale for $500.
Apparently, before I checked this vendor's ware, I was told he originally had two for sale, but
                                                     had sold one, and it went home to New
 LHS is GLEN TICKLE’s MERCURY
                                                     Zealand.
                                                     Because of the poor exchange rate plus
                                                     postage, that price in NZ $ would be about
                                                     double?
                                                     Some lucky collector for sure. A great
                                                     conversation piece for the diehard Ford
                                                     collector.
                                                     I guess that you could call the purchaser a

AND NOW THE V8 LADIES !
Sandy Horsford sent in some pictures of her creations, born during the
lockdown.

                                           Sandy tells us that she creates her
                                           masterpieces using ceramic tile pieces,
                                           nuts, pebbles, flotsam from the beach
                                           and tie dyed material for the back-
                                           grounds. Just anything that tweaks her
                                           imagination.

                                           A very impressive result

Sandy says “ enough engine talk!
Lets hear and see what the other
V8 ladies have been up to”.

So there you go gals, Sandy has
thrown down the challenge, send
me your photos and stories please!
Thank you Sandy for sharing your
talent.

THE STORY OF PETER LLOYD’S 33 FORD
I was browsing through some early copies of our club magazine, and came upon this story in
a 1980 edition. I rang Peter to find out what happen to his car, and he agreed to let me re-
print this interesting tale. Peter told me that he had sold the car later on in the 1980’s to
fellow club member Keith Mulcahy.—ED

Sutton McMillan was well known in Sydney Trotting circles as a horse trainer. His stables
were situated at Glebe, not very far from Harold Park trotting track. He was also known be-
cause of the car he used for towing his horse floats. It was a little black 33 Ford Sports Coupe.
He purchased the car in 1946 and
used it for towing floats to    trotting
meets all over the country, the fur-
thest trip being Adelaide. It was said
that the reason for choosing the sports
coupe instead of any other body style
was because of the fact that he could
mount a trotting gig on the rumble
seat with the shafts sticking over
the roof. Many Ford watchers new of
the car and many tried to buy it from
him, but he was always reluctant to
sell.
For once in my life I got lucky; a good Peter’s  33, photographed at the 1980 All Ford Rally
                                          by Trevor Poulsen
friend of mine was working at
Fivedock Motor Registry as a mechanical inspector, and in the course of conversation with a
gentleman who was registering a car, it came up that they owned this particular 1933
Ford ,and were pensioning it off in favour of the 1956 Dodge that they were registering. My
friend came around to see me that same night, sometime in April 1970, and told me about the
conversation he had with the gentleman who owned the Ford. I rang the owner the next day
and a price was negotiated and after a test drive I settled for the ownership at a cost to me of
$200.
I used the car for the next two years as everyday transport to and from work, finally
surrendering the registration in 1972. I put the car into moth balls for six years, then in
December 1978, I had to mobilise the car again due to the sale of my house and
subsequently I moved to Tweed Heads. I replaced the cylinder heads, which had been
removed in 1972, fitted a new diaphragm kit to the petrol pump and away she went. Recently,
I dragged the car out of moth balls again, to attend the recent “All Ford Rally” {1980}, and
did 120 miles return trip without missing a beat. - not bad for a car that was pensioned off in
1970, and still waiting to be restored.
I guess it must be
true that
“OLD FORDS
NEVER DIE!”

MERCURY’s GOT IT
Here I have reprinted , in part, an article written for the latest edition of Hemmings Motor
News, by Jim Donnelly. Read the full story at www.hemmings.com/stories.—ED.

Mercury’s final years were spent peddling cars, minivans, and SUV’s discernible from
FORDS only by model names, cosmetic tweaks, and higher price tags. But from the
marques’ inception in 1938 through the majority of the 20th century, Mercury was the junior
Lincoln: A rolling example of how a Ford could look and perform given added measures of
style and luxury.
By the end of the 1930, s Ford was being outflanked by General Motors’ multiple divisions,
which each targeted a distinct audience. As Henry Ford clung to the notion that his cars
should be prized for their frugality and sturdiness, Oldsmobile and Buick were appealing to a
new generation of entry level luxury car buyers.
It was left to Henry’s only son, Edsel, to salvage the company. Edsel rose to the challenge,
pulling off a seemingly impossible, paradigm-shifting realignment of Ford’s vast product
image during his short lifetime.
                                               True, the 1939 series 99A Mercury 8 automo-
                                               biles were powered by a larger Ford flathead V8
                                               and had a solid front axle. But the Sedan-Coupe
                                               also had a mouth-watering hardtop roofline,
                                               with no clunky B-pillar to interrupt its flow.
                                               That first hardtop treatment was only the start.
                                               In the years bracketing World War 11, Mercu-
                                               ry’s differed from Fords not only by their elabo-
                                               rately delicate grilles and ample stainless side
                                               mouldings, but also by their chassis. The wide-
                                               body Mercury models from 1941-1948 rode on
                                               116-inch wheelbases, 2 inches longer than the
corresponding Fords. A big deal? Probably not, but it still created Mercury exclusivity.
The difference in the wheelbase increased in 1949 to 4 inches, which was the least of Mercu-
ry’s news that year. The 1949 Mercury was an acclaimed, almost magical car. As a result,
the 1949 and 1950 versions-regardless of body style-have been prime collector cars for a
generation, at least. The 1951, a nearly identical
spinoff despite its extended rear fenders and distinc-
tive vertical tail lamps, has long been more moder-
ately priced as well as a favourite with customizers.
All of these cars pushed the definition of what was
attainable, fast and stylish, sometimes unmercifully
so, in the Turnpike Cruiser context. You might be
taken a little aback by how many Mercury products
were built in comparatively small numbers, and at
their startling affordability today. That, we should
add, is with a healthy universe of easily found repro-
duction parts and some enthusiastic club support.
                                                      Judicious use of chrome and unique trim
                                                      bits , transformed the seen-it-every-place-you-
                                                      look, broad-shouldered cars from Ford into
                                                      magical Mercurys from 1941 on.

                                                      The 1949 Sport Sedan. Powered by 255 Cu in
                                                      flathead, followed by the 1950 version helped
                                                      push Mercury past its 1 Millionth sale.

Thanks to Bob Trevan for sending in these photos (via Trevor P.)
     Apparently in 1934 –35 these vehicles were launched without success. One 34
     and two 35’s were built. The bodies were strip planked (like a boat hull) in
     wood then covered in linen. Painted in one colour all over. The enterprising
     duo failed to secure any orders so the project died. Apparently the rich and
     famous preferred Packard's and Cadillac's
