    Guys, I can’t tell, is this a 40 or a 47 Ford Coupe? I know it’s on a more updated chassis, but that aside I’m leaning toward 47, but I’m not totally sure. Almost looks too good and that makes me think it’s a 40. It’s the only shot I have of it. Can’t see rear window. What do you think?

    I'm guessing '38-'39 or '40 Ford Coupe.

    ....................Might not even help to see the rear window as the double window in '38-'39''40 was often cut out to make one larger opening ostensibly for better view to see behind.

    could be a 37... there is a 37 sedan in the background. 37-40...

    Looks like a 39 or 40 to me, i've often been wrong.

    It's a '38-'40, '37s had a seam that would be just visible at the right rear upper roof.
    '37s had a slightly different window and top profile, too.
    That '37 in the background is just some competition...
