TQ29M, the V8 60 went to France & Brazil. The French used it for military equipment & the Brazilians used it in a variety of vehicles. There are even Ardun style heads for it in Brazil. My point is that they were only sold in Ford passenger cars for a few years, 1937 to 1940 if memory serves. Less popular as an option than Chevy IIs were in the 1960s. The 1937 Ford V8 60 is most remembered for the first tube front axle which is a holy grail of vintage hot rod parts.
