    I'm thinking if the rears ar 15 x 10 then they are Real Rodders Wheels as they have a step in them whereas the Halibrands have a smooth continuous radius

    meade baldwin's 40 standard.. hot rod garage built.. denton md..

    lots of photos here

    I believe the bottom of the front clip was moved up (grille shortened fenders etc..) to achieve the look.

    I am not much for standards.. but this one i like..

    Pretty sure that '40 was built at the Hot Rod Garage in Denton, Maryland. Think it belongs to either Bill or Meade Baldwin. May have been featured in a past issue of The Rodders Journal...Don.

    Here's a 15 x 10 Halibrand - note that it does not have a step in the rear wheel - unlike the '40 Ford coupe wheel.
