Great marketing video from Ford for the 1941 lineup!

I talked to the owner of this one several years ago about how he did the extended body lines on the camper. Bondo and a special shaped trowel, pretty crude, but he was happy with it.

 

honest, honey, I'll stop buying these...

 

A couple COE pics from the salt flats.....

 

I really gotta get my**** to the Salt Flats before I'm too freakin old to make the trip... Of course, I do fear not knowing what the hell to do there as I really know nothing about it.... but I can probably "fix" that...

Here's one... Pretty cool, way different...

I still am astounded by the sheet metal out West... What's up with the boat controls?

Hydraulic controls for the bed.

 

Buford's Love child??

 

I'm not certain on what my opinion is on those headlights.

I have my opinion on them , but my mom taught me better .

 

In October Goodguys .

 

I apparently have my coworkers trained well!!! She sent me a pic immediately when she saw this!

 

Pretty cool rig....

 

It looks like it should have been built as a delivery with cab and back all as one.

 

Got painted and sold at Barret Jackson last year. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1939-FORD-CUSTOM-SEDAN-DELIVERY-190282

That was my first reaction also, but then the design quickly grew on me. Similar idea to my truck in its original form with a separate Coca Cola box on the back.

Pretty cool in paint.

 

Here's a super sweet one!!!!!!

 

Another Ford COE "wrecker".

Get a load of this! I know its a little "new" for here, but holy cow!

 

1948 Chevrolet 5700 series COE, Holmes Heavy Duty W35 Wrecker.

 

Obviously not a COE, but sure is cool. Someone here needs to own this!

Looks to be a Pontiac engine. I don't think GMC had a V8 in 57.

 

Agreeing with that sentiment! Dang... simply too many great old vehicles out there that would be making our roads a great deal classier if they were still rolling. Simply transporting it home my direction would be a major cost factor though.

 

Sweet looking hauler. More of the flattish paint like the Dodge COE on here... Nice..

That flattish paint look is growing on me, although it might be a****** to get bugs off of it. Anyone know if is like primer in that respect?

 

Yeah it*****s to try to keep it clean. Everything sticks worse because it's not as smooth as glossy paint. Can't really wax it either...

 

Looks like mine is parked for the winter......

 

At SEMA

That was a lot of work !
