1949 Ford, 1950 Ford overdrive lockout switch, image 1
“This is a used switch removed from a 1949 Ford transmission. Old, a bit crusty but usable. Look carefully at the photos.”
Brand:Borg Warner overdrive system for Ford Warranty:Yes Surface Finish:older, crusty, usable tests good. Country/Region of Manufacture:United States

This is a lockout switch for a 1949 or 1950 Ford transmission with the overdrive.   It mechanically "locks out the transmission from going into reverse when the overdrive is engaged.   Book sez the '51s didn't have it so I'm not sure how they prevented the issue.

The wires are still there, marked "to governor" and to "kickdown switch".  These are the old, original wires--you will want to upgrade them.

From Grampa's garage.  He  had lots of old car parts that we found after he died and we are trying to find a home for them.  Hopefully someone can still use them.

This switch tests good in the way that it conducts continuity until the button is pressed when it breaks continuity.  

Good luck with your bidding, thanks for looking and considering...

Gullwing GmbH are to create a faithful reproduction of the iconic Mercedes 300SL Gullwing The 1950s Mercedes 300SL Gullwing is an iconic car. Remembered affectionately by those old enough to remember it first time round (which I actually don’t!) and associated in the minds of car nuts with Sir Stirling Moss and his exploits in the Mille Miglia (it seems every classic Gullwing that comes on the market is somehow miraculously ‘Driven by Stirling Moss’), it is the epitome of ‘Cool Car’. The huge appeal of the classic Gullwing is also responsible for the direction of the new Mercedes SLS, which pays huge homage to the design of the original.

Lamborghini URUS – the FX70 killer

Thu, 19 Nov 2009

Perhaps the Lamborghini Concept by Active Design points the way for the new Lamborghini Urus? Lamborghini has been long on new models – for a high-end supercar maker – but short on new cars for quite some time. Sure, we’ve had evolutions of the Gallardo in to the LP560 and the Murcielago in to the LP640 and it’s siblings.
