Hot Rods Let's have our own 84th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

Isn't that Joe Barnett's old '40 ?

 

Little Red

 

and here's mine

 

my deluxe

 

here's ours, bought it last year,done in the 80s I think. Wife says the velour interior needs a disco ball! But great car, we are driving it everywhere. In shop being repainted now.

 

Wish I was ready.....

 

here's mine

 

@ RelixRiot/Gilmore Museum, Michigan

 

Here's mine, the black one is a recent purchase, making some minor changes for safer driving before spring!

 

trying to melt the ice!

 

I run chrome steelies with WW from time to time. A whole new look.

 

Dirty Old Man's 40 coupe. HRP

 

Boy I wish this was mine. This color was my second choice after black. One of each would be swell.

 

Here's mine - it was on the "40 Is 60" tour the late Art Branum had done back in 2000 and I had another 40 that was in his "40 Is 50" tour back in '90....



Here is my 40 p-up project ....

...and a 40 p-up I flipped a while back ....

 

That's Chuck's car again at Pomona. He's in his 70's and this was not his first cross country trip. He's got a flatty and a 5 speed in it too! Here's another shot on the road from our trip .

 

Here's a few we have done--looking now for another to keep me busy. The dlx coupe with the whitewalls is our old standby-was at the outdoor show at the Sac Autorama-it's #4 and built in 07-the CMG std is #13. Lots of really nice ones posted-love the maroon one in post above.

 

In post #61 where was that taken. Back in 1997-8 I got one from San Luis Obispo that Art Branum was aware of. Looked very much the same and we/he had a picture of it running at Santa Maria sometime in the late 50's. It left here in 03 after we refreshed it and is somewhere in the San Joaquin valley last I heard.

 

Guess since we are both the same age not a chance he will leave it to me.

 

At 72 I'd like to get on the list for that one too

 

I'm thinking I better start going to more garage sales,that's a great story.

 

Yeah but it didn't come with that Caddy engine in it!

 

I bet the Caddy DID come from a sale in a garage somewhere!!
Definitely need to go to more garage sales!

 

^^^^ What I said. The caddy came out of a garage... and was apparently in a dang nice one before it got into the 40!!
Great story, great car, great engine, too!
ATTABOY!

 

Wonder what color is on Chucks 40?

 

I know this is going to cause angst but if I owned a 40 I'd put 37-39 headlite buckets in it! Just saying...
