My 1940 ford coupe gets out again

Well I got my 1940 ford coupe dug out a month ago and decided its time for a new motor. The old flathead is a little tired and it needs a clutch bad. So I have been planning on putting a y block ford in it. I really like the car just want to drive it again. And the 40 pickup is my latest driver. You may have seen me driving it around Portland oregon or washington.

 

Two of my favorite vehicles ever. Man, they both look great!

I gotta admit for the most part I'm pretty much all GM BUT a 40 Ford really gets it. Great lookin pair

 

IMO........2 of the most perfect shapes known to the auto industry & hot rodding......a 40 Coupe & a 40 P/U truck.

Hey thanks for the comments. I like 40s also. My dad has lots of 40s so I guess that is where I get it from.

 

great looking 40's!!

 

I should get my '40 up, running and on the road - though mines as down in back as yours is in front. I've always dug your Coupe Steve!! I hadn't seen the truck - looks great too. Ya got's style!! Tim

It may give ya a little inspiration on yer ride, if ya ever decide to make some changes to it

Great lookin pair ya got there ...enjoy them and congrats on gettin the '40 on the road again!

 

Weren't you selling some really cool dash's on ebay a couple months ago?
I remember a chrome one and a black w/pinstriped one.
That chrome one was crazy.
Do you have any pics of the cars they came from?
I was thinking if the dash was chrome the car musta been over the top.

Nice to see you on the board Steven. Keep up the good work and "Pop's" called me the other day.

Mike

 

Hey Mike yes he said he talked to you. I will have to post pics of his 32. I think people will like it. Talk to you later,Steve

 

Thanks Tim you know style so thanks for the comment. I seen pictures of your blue A roadster at Puyallup LOOKS GOOD. You have taken it a long way from when I seen it last. Would like to see your 40 next to mine someday. Talk to you later, Steve

 

Yes I live in east vancouver

 

Yes that chromed 40 dash is going in the black coupe. I took off the pinstriping and I think it looks better( a little to busy for me). My coupe has old chrome garnish mldgs already and old white tuck n roll so I think it will be cool.

 

Great, now I have to go wipe the drool off my keyboard. Nice rides you have there!

 

Cool now I know where the black one came from then!
I actually bid on your 4-door sedan. It didn't meet reserve though.
I've got a 40 coupe but have kids so it would be cool to have a sedan too!
(and a truck!)
anyway cool rides.

nothing finer than a 40

 

The black dash and the gold and white dash where both extra wallhangers. ended up parting out the 4 door it was a nice body( still have the body and doors)

 

ive seen that pick up around out here by where i live. in washougal. at mmc......hmmmm

 

Y block "Y" had em all,have 40 with all the stuff, air heat, power steering,power 4 wheel brakes,late model everything,would give it all up to do over again with what i had to start with,just freshen up what ya have.

 

yes that pickup I got from brent. My pop sold him the frame and body Max built the frame and I bought it back when he got it drivable. Great to drive not great looking.

 

Two very cool rides, loves them 40's. Gary

 

killer rides, man...that truck is my 'dream' truck.

Flaco

 

I'd love to have a 40 pickup painted like the old fisk fire trucks.
again cool rides!

Dig 'em!

Especially that you are putting a Y Block into a '40.

Love them engines.

 

very cool truck ..

 

Good lookin' 40's. Be nice if you could find a 312 with thunderbird valve covers for it. Yeah, I know they are getting hard to find. I always wanted a '40 coupe but have never been in the right place at the right time with the coin. Maybe one of these days....

 

Henry Ford finest!
