Features 1940 and 1939 Deluxe Fords.......Lets see em!

What I'm wondering is why not just run the original ball-and-socket setup?

 

Smoother ride and better handling when split. I run a 4 bar on my 39 Tudor. Its ok..John

 

Here's my Dad's '39 Deluxe....

 

Here's mine. It's not even here yet (transporter nightmare)... I'm still trying to figure some things out myself... All I'm certain of is that it has to be cheap!

 

I've posted mine on the other 40 threads, but I might as well post it here too.
I've had it for 26 years. It's been a driver since 1992. Its NEVER had a hood on it since it hit the road. Someday, I'll get one on though....

 

Thanks for posting this pic. This 40 belonged to my friend and "40 Ford mentor". He passed away in 2008. many of the things that my Dad and I did on my coupe, were patterned after stuff that Jim had done on this tudor. I'm not sure what has become of this car since his death, as his son who was into cars has also since passed away.

 

I was in Oz earlier this year. met alot of nice guys, one of which, Pete Laxton[FONT=&quot] , [/FONT] had these two. The delivery did 'push duty' at Bonneville before it landed in Oz.

 

Great looking car ,but 20 years ?

 

Here's a recent shot of mine at the "Pie Run" on Thanksgiving day. The weather was less than desirable!

 

Sure sits nice!
I think all 39-40's look cooler without a front bumper.....Shows off those bitchin' grills better!

 

This thing is bad ass!!!!

 

Couple pics from a local cruise.

 

My Father-in-Law's

 

Thats just fricking bitchin!!!! Never seen one without a front bumper and it looks great! Great job!

Uncles 39 Ford him and my father built.

 

My '40 deluxe tudor, painfully stock for now but I've got this 500" Caddy motor sitting on the garage floor along with the matching TH400, I need to hunt down a 9" ford (FROM WHAT????) then have a go at it. Peace,,,Moosie
P.S.There are an awful lot of awsome looking '39/'40s being posted, havent seen one I dont like.

 

Mines a little dirty, been rebuilding the Columbia, should be ready to go in the spring.

 

Here's my all original '40 Ford Deluxe. Mitchell overdrive makes it purr down the freeway. Joe

 

Pretty sure this is his car but owned by someone else, at least thats what the poster I got the pictures from said, well except for the red one that is. Peace,,,Moosie

I thought I read that the Moreland '40 was de-tuned and "updated" to a billet street rod? Maybe not.

 

Here's mine. I rebuilt the trans and rear end. Reversed eyed the rear spring. Just finished putting a new front end in. Dropped axle with reversed eyed spring (though I think I'm going to put a spring without the eyes reversed in). She was an early 60's or late 50's rod when I found her. It had/has a 1958 283 in it that runs great. So I'll drive it like it is for now.

 

Me and my -39 Deluxe back in -97

Here's my std. coupe and deluxe sedan.

 

Rough start . . . '08. Stored since '62. New floors, door bottoms, rear panel, etc. Installed new driveline, suspension, etc. Should drive this summer, '10.

Big job for old man, 68. Last '40 for me.

 

Congrats on keeping the 40 flame lit.

 

Anyone have any pics of a 39/40 Sedan with 35 wires? I can't picture the look in my head. Thanks.
