I forgot to mention that the last 2 measurements are for the chrome belt line trim.
Sorry bout that
Tom

Alrighty, here goes... Length of door - 47 3/8", rear window gap - 25 1/8". (This is gap only, rear quarter extends beyond b-pillar by 3/4"). Total length of rear quarter - 82 1/2". Rear door to arch - 22".... Front piece, B-C is 28 inches and the rear piece, C-D is 54 3/8 inches.... Hope this helps...

My 144 only had 33K on it and runs like a champ. However, when it is warmed up it blows quite a bit of blue/gray smoke upon a restart and a constant lighter stream when accelerating. Is this normal? I know they are known for consuming oil but it seems like a lot. Someone mentioned that because of it...

Thanks everyone... I really appreciate it... Yeah, "thrift power"... All 90 horses of it... But I love it, certainly no burn outs, but it cruises along just fine.

Thanks guys.... I put a set of Monroe coil over shocks, 86 bucks for the pair and it made it much better. Check it out.

here we go.... I think

Looks like I messed up the attachment thing... Sorry bout that. Working on it... that stuff always gets me.

Hello all. I am quite thrilled with what I think is a fairly rare all original 60 with 33,556 miles.... So far. I drive it all around locally. Thought I'd share.

I have an all original 60 comet with 33K. It is awesome in my book and my intent is not to change anything.... EXCEPT 1 thing that bugs me. The front end sits higher than the rear. One guy said cut the front springs (really don't want to do that). Another said the rear shackles on the rear of the le...

I have 2 spare 13 inch, 4 lug rims and could part with 1. They are from my 60 comet. Original owner bought them for snows. I plan to NOT drive it in snow. I'm in Massachusetts Where are you?

The carb and exhaust manifold on my 1960 was changed out. A Holley 1 barrel with automatic choke was put on with an exhaust manifold with no fitting for the auto choke tube, so the tube just hangs there. The previous owner manually backed off the auto choke so it stys open all the time. Car runs ok ...

I would like to buy a reproduction battery for my 60. There are several sites that sell them for very specific makes and models. However, the 60 to 62 Comet and Falcon are difficult to find. One "expert" told me it is supposed to be 9 inches long by 6 3/4 wide. The Autolite Sta-ful for a 65 and up i...

Bingo!!! That's what I was hoping. Thanks... I'll give it a go
