@Moriarity, I’m beginning to think you don’t get fed enough at home.

I just completed viewing every page, sitting poolside on vacation.
A 39 or 40 coupe has been one of my bucket list cars for a long time. Owning a T roadster, model As and 32 coupes, having another coupe just isn’t in my cards with 2 growing kids. My family likes to participate but we are out growing my prewar hotrods. It was good to see a few 4-doors in the thread. A local 40 4 door is forsale. 61k miles, still bone stock and a clean old car. It may have to find its way into my garage.

I thought I’d never own a more door car, but these rides may convince me otherwise.

 

That dark green tail dragger is cool

 

From 1957 With New Cadillac El Dorado Engine...

 

^^^^^One big "Atta Boy" to the first person to identify that front bumper.^^^^^

 

Stole this from the Jalopyrama pictures, been awhile since seeing a 40 with wire wheels.

 

Looks like you got them stumped Don

 

............Looks that way.........I was thinking Corvair, but what do I know?!

One For Sunday...

 

Is that one of the glass reproduction bodies that came out several years ago?
I saw an unbuilt display example that was travelling with the world of wheels shows. Nice looking truck.

 

anniversary for the 39 ?

 

I came home with a 40 deluxe yesterday.



Any advice on removing the original interior panel behind the rear door? I need to replace the door swing stop.

 

@T&A Flathead
Wow, that’s a NICE old Fordor!
Great find!

 

Take the back seat out, remove the flipper window garnish molding and the assist strap. The side panels are nailed/tacked to the tack strip on the front edge and there is a metal hook on the backside of the panel. Take your time; these things are pain to get out without damaging them.

 

@warbird1 thanks for the advice. Is it a metal tack strip or was wood still used.

 

Basically cardboard... I replaced all of mine with the plastic tack strip available now.
