Customs 3WJOHN's new ride, it's a 3 window but not a deuce

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by HOTRODPRIMER, Jan 21, 2023.

  1. John seems to change cars as much as most of us change socks, he sold my pal Dave his 40 Ford coupe and replaced it with this beautiful custom.

    I just got the photo's, what do you guys think? HRP

    Geezus...Who ever designed that roofline (and the whole car) was a friggin' GENIUS.:D. That's the coolest Shoebox I've ever seen:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

    The top is awesome, the glob of chrome behind the front wheel, not so much.

    looks better than the Gibbons car as far as the profile.

    needs a more traditional interior to go with the flathead from where I'm standing.

    Very nice car indeed. Is it my puter monitor, or does the radiator look like critters have been chewing on the fins?

    Nothing wrong with your monitor, Looks like the radiator might be an original one or has a good number of years on it.

    Still that car flat rocks my socks, Done so nicely on the outside some will swear that it left the factory that way and their uncle drove one except it was blue.

    Wow. Perfect execution.
    Bad to the bone. I agree on the interior being over the top. that roofline is killer.

    I'd like to see the body shortened about 12 inches from the bottom where the rear window lands to the trunk and make it a two seater. JMO ?

    John saw this car and wanted it, he call my pal Dave and they made a quick deal n Johns 40 coupe and he bought the car . HRP

    Like that style. Not much on shoeboxes(anymore). Had a '51 Vic, it was ok - sorta - , but iffen it'd looked like that, I'd still have it, if only for the looks. :) . That *is* the body style ford should've built. Well, that, & a 4-dr convert.
    HRP, when you can, would you post-up some more detail pics? I suppose they'll get disappeared, but I'd still like to see.

    Beautiful car!! Those upper radiator hoses look a little "wonky" though.
