Another pic of the ute.

 

Happy 85th Birthday 40 Fords.
Pictured is my new to me 1940 Deluxe coupe.

 

Hello,

My wife and I were driving around the coastal areas looking for a specific house and yard. We saw some that were nice and were surprised at a red custom 1940 Ford pickup truck sitting by a curb in one of the coastal areas. We had some time to go see other homes, so we left to come back around later in the road trip. A quick digital camera shot from the driver’s side was taken and to appease my wife, we drove on to the next area a couple of miles or so away.
Upon returning to the original area where the truck was parked, we were surprised that it was still there. So, not wanting to look as if we were thieves, a quick rear view mirror shot was taken and we drove to the harbor for a nice respite.

Since we are/were a couple of road trippers since 1966 together, she surprised me with a nod to the red 40 Ford Truck. “…It was a nice looking truck and probably would fit perfectly inside of our own garage for our weekly trips…” I guess our red 327 powered 40 Ford Sedan Delivery we owned back in our 20s, still rings true as far as fun on the roads of our old destinations weekly.
