Got my new Lang’s catalog in the mail today. Like the new “barn find” edition with applied patina!

Looks like the postal service really enjoyed reading it! Maybe we know where all the missing parts have gone to

I received 2 copies in pristine condition!

I'm still waiting for an Ebay purchase that's several days overdue. I'm told the P.O. is having a heck of a time with the weather around the U.S. this winter. That might explain the condition of your catalog.

Several years ago I received a catalog in the mail, completely shredded up in a ziploc bag. There was a note from the Postmaster in the bag, apologizing and explaining how postal employees go to great length to preserve the mail. There was also a complaint form included if I wished to send it to Washington.

The catalog? A Harriet Carter catalog full of porcelain knick knacs and decorative junk that I never ordered...........

Lang's is the best, knowledgeable AND patient.

USPS about 15 years ago, lost a whole months worth of bills that I mailed out. CC, house payment, utilities...all posted almost 2 months after I sent them.
Cost me several hundred dollars and USPS couldn't give 2 $hit$ !! First, prove it and then file a complaint and see if you get a penny.
Online bill pay ever since and save on stamps.

Really enjoying the catalog nevertheless. Lot’s of new stuff. It’s only the first few pages that got chewed up and it would have ended up this way anyway.

Mine's not quite as bad as the pictured on but close !!!

Mine arrived in good shape which seldom happens.

Still waiting for mine in Hillsboro, MO.

I am delighted with the new catalog too. Martynn's illustrations are fantastic and well used. It makes me want to order a bunch of stuff I don't need yet. I order from some other great vendors too but often Lang's shows things the others don't. We are lucky this stuff is available. Restore a White sometime. Then you'll see why I learned to make my own parts.

Mine came on Friday. So far it's in mint condition, but after a year or so, it'l mach the other oil, grease, and ripped up 2017 and 2015 ones.

Anyone else notice the front cover is not an American Ford plant?

I'll second that Rich. Martynn's illustrations are fantastic. Great work Martynn!! Oh and love the new catalog. Great folks.

Just got mine today, it has 16 more pages than the 2017 that I just happen to have near the keyboard. Thank you to everyone at Lang's they must send out literately a ton of their catalogs. Jim

Windsor?

I thought it was the Highland Park plant in the photo. Care to enlighten us?

Functional drivers door, double swing out windshield frames, square lugs on rims, no steering column horn button, left hand drive...Canadian.

My catalog was pretty torn up and I wrote to Langs suggesting they consider using an envelope. They responded the next day and was sending a new one. Hope it makes it!! Langs is the best!

I got mine torn and wrinkled like the last time, but only the cover. It's what's inside that counts and Lang's is the best.

I hope to pick up an unmangled copy at Chickasha.

Haven't gotten mine yet maybe next week sometime. Anyhoo, every one of the drawings you see in any of their catalogs is also available here in the Gallery section, and can be downloaded.

Thanks Martynn, for your excellent drawings very much appreciated. Jim
