Hot Rods New to me 42 convertible

Just brought this car home. Was restored around 2001 and then parked. Love to connect with others who have 42 ragtops.

 

That's a rare one, and a pretty one, looks like it was very well done. Closest I've got is a '41 Cadillac convertible. I can't imagine there were a lot of convertibles built in 1942 of any brand, worldwide.

 

Nice car; didn't even know that 1942 convertibles were built.

 

Apparently around 2500 were built.

 

Check out Ernie Adam's dwarf car.

 

You got yourself a looker ……..enjoy!

 

Great score! Very rare car, indeed!

 

Congrats

 

Dang that’s cool.
What are the modification plans?

 

Very nice!

 

Looks like it was just painted yesterday, love the color

 

Sweet

 

Right now I'm just going through everything and the top material is getting installed soon!

 

The gentleman who had the car collected EVERYTHING (NOS, mint condition) so it is making my life easy. New interior ready to install too.

 

First one that I remember seeing. Looks like in great shape.

 

Man that would make a killer sled

 

Very cool and rare car. What are your plans for it?

 

There is nothing you could do with that that you couldn't do with a more common 46-48 ford.

 

Yep.
That’s an excellent taildragger project

 

Going to get all the parts on it and enjoy. I'm more of a 32-34 guy and my dad is a MOPAR fan so who knows after that.

 

Very nice buy .

 

A little time blowing off the dust. It is as nice underneath.

 

Pat Boone drove a blue 42 convert in the movie April Love.
