Hot Rods Let's have our own 85th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

That one has a '36-'37 Cord Sportsman vibe to it!

 

@Mr.Norton Your 40 has “the look”, beautiful car.

 

Time for the first ride this year.

 

Here's a pic from last Saturday of @Lakeside65's sedan and my '40 stake truck out at the Wommack Mill, in Fair Grove, MO. We had just finished up with his stance adjustment, with reversed eyes on front and back and a dropped axle up front.
A better view of the adjusted stance. I believe he told me he's running 165/80r15's on some '50 Merc wheels up front and some 225/75r15's out back on some OEM 6" wheels.

He got the axle and spindles from Nostalgia Sid and the rear main leaf from @100% Matt

 

Man, that picture is as cool as the flip side of a pillow

That is correct on the wheels and tire size! The stake truck and sedan sure look good together. I’m hoping they see some miles together soon! Thanks again for your knowledge and help on the sedan, without it I’d probably still be dreaming instead of driving

 

Believe this is Bert Melody's from New York


Never seen this picture before but the hood scoop and wire wheels along with the channel, dropped running boards, sectioned cowl and hood and raised front fenders are features on his 40. Ran a Cadillac with a blower IIRC.
Anybody know where it is today?

 

Love to see pics like this one. This was the trend when I got into the car thing.

 

Is a 39 Deee-luxe ok? Me cheesin for the camera at GG Texas.

 

My all time favorite 40' ford

 

Thanks!

 

I actually have a picture of it @ Columbus GG hanging on the garage wall

....What's Rhe?

 

OOPS. Now I see you meant to hit the "T". Sorry, answered my own question.

 

Sorry for the "R" oops. I need to get my eyes checked or a big key pad for my phone. Lol!

 

Found online.

 

First thing I did to my 51 Ford when I was 16.

 

@40ragtopdown One of my favorite sedans...
