Faults:

Because I bought this car without any history data.

The correct mileage is unknown to me.

I can only talk about the last 2 years:

I've driven 9000 kilometres in this car during the past 2 years. It only left me stranded twice:

- A leak in one of the radiator hoses

- Dirt in the carb

That's all.

General Comments:

The car is assembled in Europe, probably in Antwerp or in Amsterdam.

The car has probably been shipped in from the USA in parts ("Completely Knocked Down").

The speedometer etc. are in Kilometres, not in Miles.

The Ford flathead V8 is unbelievably reliable.

Just make sure to do the maintenance every now and then and it just won't break down!

The Ford-o-matic transmission will undergo a total revision this autumn/winter. It's leaking.

Engine-parts are widely available.

Body-parts, including the chrome parts, are very difficult to find.

I have so much faith in this car that I will drive it all across western Europe one of these years. Despite its age.

It's surprisingly steady on the road.

Thanks to the huge steering-wheel, it's easy to park.

Up to 80 km/h (50 mp/h) it outruns a lot of modern cars!

Needless to say: the car is an absolute head-turner.

Faults:

Very little has gone wrong with car.

In the time I have owned it, the tail lights stopped working due to old wiring, and the brake light switch needed to be replaced.

The valves need to be adjusted.

The speedometer and odometer have never worked when I have had it.

General Comments:

The car is very comfortable due to its large seats, I have no problems sitting comfortably during long trips. There is tons of leg and head room, so even the largest people fit well.

The car is not fast, but it has power -- even with the six cylinder motor. The only time I ever have trouble is when I go up really steep roads, the car slows a little.

Its an easy car to drive by old car standards. The clutch is easy and visibility is good. The four wheel drums make stopping slow, but that's OK.

I love the car and its never left me stranded.
