Hey Ryan, I bought your 39's older Sister *UPDATED!*

I found myself browsing Craigslist again...it really is a bad thing for me as I always find SOMETHING I never knew how much I needed. Monday night was pretty much the same. Saw an add for a 1938 Ford DeLuxe tudor sedan. I called the guy and he said it was his late Father's car, and they needed to sell it. The car was about 70 miles away, so I said maybe this weekend I would come look at it if he still had it. I had Friday off so Thursday night I called him to see if I could look at it in the morning. He told me he had a guy coming from Seattle to look at it, and had a trailer and cash. So I left my number and said he if did not buy it to call me. Next day in the afternoon he called to say the fellow from Seattle could not make it that day, so Jamie and I went up and checked it out.

It is a pretty original car. Interior is all original except the door panels. It has some floor and tool tray repair and the car has been repainted but looks to be long ago. The front fenders/hood have been buffed out, the doors back are kinnda dry so I need to wet sand it and buff the car. The guy selling it said his Dad bought it about 15-20 years ago and never did much with it...just bought parts for it. He showed me all the Bob Drake boxes, there is a lot of stuff there! The car fired right up and purrs. All stock except Fenton headers and dual exhaust. Engine looks new. It has hydraulic brakes on it as well. I drove it up and down his driveway and made a deal, went and picked it up today.

I dunno what I'm going to do with it, Dropped axle and WWW come to mind, so may do that. It drives nice but needs a MC, it leaks pretty bad and I lost the brakes pulling into my driveway. Either way, Ryan's 39 sedan is the first car that came to mind

 

Cool car looks grate.

 

wow! nice car, good find!

 

AWesome car, needs to come to Oklahoma though! LOL

 

Nice car Chris...boy..can you find 'em ?

 

What a find Chris, great story, thanks for sharing the pics too!!!!!!!

 

What a gem!

 

That's one that should just be driven. Any changes can be done without laying the car up. I smell a daily driver.

I wouldn't drop axle or WWW that, it looks like a shine runner and I would stick with that and reinforce that look. Not many looks better than bootlegger shine runner.

 

If you need to make room in your garage and wanna sell me that little scooter just let me know as I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

 

Great score! I wish my area's Craig's List had more cars like those for sale..

Seems like 3-Window Larry got them all in one fell swoop.

Looks like a Wedding car. Nice find! I beam or tube front axle?

Don't be rude, BTW, how much, wink wink, nudge nudge

 

Wait a minute, OK plates. You just leave our mid-west cars alone! You've got enough cool things already.

 

Any update pics? It's been almost an hour since you posted Chris, and I know you can't leave anything alone.

Great looking car

 

Great ride !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4ttruk

 

What a honey, my first v/8 Ford was a 38 standard two door sedan, loved it. Excellent score man, thanx for showing it. ~sololobo~

 

Damn man you got the touch.....great car

 

Shit. The only thing on Craigslist around here are tuner cars and '90 and newer Mustangs.
I've been telling the wife for 2 or 3 yrs. now I'd love a '38-'48 Ford 2 door sedan as a family hauler. Nice score Chris! I am jealous.

 

Jealous indeed!!

 

i have a sibling to that needs the driver side hood trim hint hint

 

Unbelievable....
