Customs Looking at purchasing a 41 Ford Coupe and have questions

Definitely a short door coupe , larger 1/4 windows , roof line to the trunk not as straight up and down as the sedan coupes , sedan coupe doors are the same size as the convertible which are longer. Rear seat has been added , head room back there in this car is not as good as a sedan coupe. Nice car , not as many short doors around and very desirable these days.

 

The '41 long door coupes had a different roofline unique to that year only. They must be rare, I've only ever seen a few of them. Rather than the usual curve from the roof into the deck lid, there is a crease at the transition similar to the '40 Mercury. Both the '41 Ford and Mercury long door coupes used that roofline. The crease disappeared in '42.

 

Well I'm leaving in about an hour with a trailer to go look at the car wish me luck.

 

Looks like a super car ..California condition ..Dry /solid is a plus & looks pretty stock..I have a 41 Business coupe project definitely Cool car.. Best of luck w the price too..

 

My father got me into 41 Fords because of a favorite old movie of his called "Tobacco Road" directed by John Ford that is set in 1941 and centers around a 1941 Ford convertible that's bought new by some hillbillies. It's hilarious

 

Got it!

 

Yes! Score

 

You going to do the build on this thread? I'm subscribed

 

Doesn’t even need painted.
Nice

 

It's complete and the flathead turns over,the front is lowered by removing springs from the top of the pack them putting them on the bottom to fill the gap.it has one mercury head and one 8ba head.the radius rods and drag links are painted yellow(for extra power of course)floor looks solid for now.gonna clean it out and put it on the lift tomorrow or Monday.pics to come.im pretty happy with it

 

This is the juice...

 

I've never seen one but I like the profile...

 

Ya know, since many are "...and what I would do..." I'm gonna play too. Of course wheel it out shiney, clean, up n running. Next, when you smack a 39/40 coupe on the nose just hard enuff it gets a stance that almost defies words. Amirite? Then out back a big enough tire to have just the sidewall barely out to the edge of the fender, like a sexy butt cheek peekin under a mini skirt Sadly I think the 41 needs the wheel opening made a wee bit bigger for that, but holy butt cheeks it would be worth it. Who sees it? Huh? Huh? Not my car but that's the pew in the church I'm sittin in.

Shagged from a net image search, but this...with a 41!

 

Halleluja Brother...(only 'cause it's Sunday)

 

Yup I'm torn between taildragger or nose down hotrod,but we'll see how everything works first

 

Congrats!!!

 

Whatever you do Brian, just don't put a M2 front end under it just kidding man! Nice score

 

Nose down hot rod! Highlander has the right idea!

 

Nose up Tail down
Every show ya go has the nose down cars

 

I'm a fan of elevated front ends myself.

 

I think I see what you did there...

 

Nose up ass down is easier. Add skirts. But I've seen 41-47 coupes done nose down and while they hit the stance the rear wheel openings look small. Some how too, the tudors don't seem to suffer that look too much. Just idle banter amongst the faithful...

 

Yeah, sadly I have a sickness. I'm trying to convince my wife that her 2018 Tahoe will look good with a straight axle lmao!

 

Almost posted that pic
nice simple cruiser

 

Taildraggers..

 

Thanks for that picture Mark that's basically what I was thinking. Clean it up and drop it down a little bit in the back with some skirts that I already have

 

Great looking car! Love the lines on the Business Coupes.

 

im sure they had long door coupes as well.
