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

here a few more pics

 

Hotrod grmi, very nice! I like the look of no bumpers too! How do you like the curved one piece windshield?

 

Okay , I was wondering because I couldn't find the car.......

 

Thats******IN!!

 

Bumping this thread with a revised pic of my '39.

 

A very beautiful car. Love the two strips of hood side trim.

 

Thanks Fordy, too bad you're on the east coast, we spend our winters in Naples. We have an RV and stay there for about 4 months.

 

man that's a sad story. i wish the picture of it when it was blue would get bigger, i looked like it was a great looking car.

 

Ryan,
You made my day, Thanks

 

Here's a rumble seat RHD 1939 DeLuxe coupe - complete with correct rumble steps on right side. I would think that if it was originally from a RHD country the rumble seat steps would be on the left (Passenger side) so it may have been converted to RHD. Would love to know the story on this - where it came from, where it was built. Is it a factory body built in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Canada or elsewhere or has somebody made a phantom from a '39 convertible and a coupe? It's in the U.K. Original photos courtesy of Hamber UKRuss1960Olds....

 

That rumble looks difficult to get in to... I was trying to imagine what foot I would put where...

Did the convertible 39's have a non functioning trunk handle as well?

 

The rumble seat latched from inside the car - so no trunk handle. However the step plates on the convertibles were both on the right rear fender....

 

Yep..........That's mine in the weeds.

 

Here's my '39 Deluxe coupe.

 

My old heap.

 

We never had rumble seat 39 coupes or right hand drive in Canada.

 

Here's mine. Stock chassis and drivetrain. Pulled a few leafs out of the front and rear. Plotting my next move, probably paint.

The 40 is at the top of Henry's greatest visions.

 

you found this thread, it's good right? lots of cars to get ideas from. I wish my 40 was ready for a picture. what the hell, i'll put up a "before" one that might be fun to look at after some time goes by.

 

That looks to be in pretty good condition, have you started a build thread yet? Nice workspace, too!

 

That must be you in the chair? LOL

 

here's some

 

Very cool scallop treatment.

 

Found this rough one. Glass mini flared rear fenders and hood louvers.

 

Yes sir, thanks for pointing it out. Good luck with you coupe, it looks like you've got a solid start there

 

no, that's my dad. I had it stored out at his place while I was working on my 30 coupe. it was out at their place for five years! I just brought it home and took it all apart only to find that the floors have a lot of issues. I bought bob drake/dennis carpenter floors front to back. the second pic is at my house and i'm filling the holes in the firewall. the original had been modified for a big block and was done very heavy handed, so in goes an real ford piece. when I get more done i'll maybe post a "post" build thread.

 

I think that was directed to Hugh in NC as evidenced by the picture that he quoted...

 

got it! but thats still my dad in the chair in my pic. these dads gotta stop sitting around so much!

 

Rough? That one makes mine look like a parts car.
