Joe Urittas Tub from a sedan is a good looking 41 Ed Jaques 41 from Valley Custom Shop is the best looking custom tube grill and still 41 style.
The green/gold 41 coupe is Deron Wright's a Burbank Chopper club member the car was chopped and frenched by Scott Guildner, later Scott added a 47 Olds grill and darker green paint. JW
They are 68-69 Ford styled steel wheels, sometimes called GT wheels. Ugly? You bet. Rarely seen on anything that they weren't factory correct for. Even a lot of '69 Ford owners opt for other factory wheels, often the rally style. What better choice for an ugly duckling '41 than the ugliest styled steel wheel FoMoCo ever made? They are correct for my SCJ and (sniff) I run 'em.
Does anyone have more info on this Valley Custom Shop 41 Ford, such a great car with no history, thats very odd, somebody must know something?
No reason to pick on the '41, most of the Ford cars and trucks were the ugliest ducklings of any company, IMO. I always wanted an old Ford AA or BB, but learned how poor they were on the highway. Seemed like a lot of work, but I started to look at newer trucks. What I found was that even up into the 50s, Ford had the ugliest lines of any companies, IMO. Chevy, Dodge, and even Studes and DiamondT's, all of them were better looking than the Fords. To make matters worse I found out what a bad person Henry Ford really was. Better lines holds true even if you go back to the flat fender cars and trucks from the 20s and 30s. It's all preference, but the Chevy flat fender cars had much better lines, IMO. I did learn that even the 40s and 50s cars and trucks had poor gearing for today's driving, so that wasn't unique to the AA and BB trucks. That said, someone posted a Hudson pickup on the first page of this thread, and I actually like the Hudson pickup, it is the one that I do like, but that could be that there are so few of them and maybe I like the unique-ness, but it has a lot of possibilities.
...Uhhhh you caught yourself there...it's just a 41 Ford Pickup with a 41 passenger nose and some mild Customizing... https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Jack_Rushton's_1941_Ford
