VintageFord Parts


Selling Parts from 1932-1948

Our Story


When we started our business in 1962, you could go to any junk yard in the Midwest and find the parts you needed for your 1934 and later Ford. If you were lucky, you could get a whole car to pick over at your leisure. We founded Southside Obsolete, a business dedicated to helping people maintain their old Fords with much needed parts.


In 1970, we started buying only new parts from the Ford garage attics and parts rooms, auto parts warehouses in big cities, or anywhere else our good Ford noses would lead us.
