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)

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.

EFR President

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
jerryvan@ameritech.net 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.

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.

A "Bones" Restoration (continued from page 6)
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.

A "Bones" Restoration (continued from page 7)
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.

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.

For Sale and Wanted Items
For Sale - Brine-Kingston Carburetor:
Chris Figge advised Carl Pate that there is a
project in the works by Reece Burnett of New
Zealand to manufacture a limited number of the
early Brine-Kingston carburetors. According to
Sue Burnett of the company the first trial casting
of the carburetor has been done. They are going
to offer the carburetors in two options –
1. The purchase of raw castings to finish the
carburetor themselves
2. Completed finished carburetor.
Sue Burnett states in her email that she is still waiting for cost estimates. At present they
are intending to cast 6 carburetors, two for the US and 4 for down under owners. There is
