My Grandfather raced one like this in the late 40's on dirt tracks in the Rodchester area of MN. Very cool car.

 

Very cool!! My dad had one just like it, and I saw a 38 convertible sedan at a car show yesterday.

 

Do a search on here for flattie38 he has one.

 

I would be happy with just the grill

 

Lol! Sweet car!

Build it. There are a lot of Caddy flathead speed parts popping up.

 

I'd be happy with just the trans.

 

Just finfished one in may.

 

those have great lines. good looking car.

 

Love it!!!

 

the car isnt mine, i just saw it posted somewhere... it is cool.

 

I would be happy with just the whole car

 

incredibly cool!

 

Too bad the guy wants 20K for it as it sits though....

 

It's cool, but the owner is nuts! $20,000?

 

Ouch! That'll leave a mark.

 

Hey I paid $16000 for the one I built when I first got it. It was an all numbers matching, running and driving car.

 

Johnny, yours was a runnung, driving car!

Read the ad, and I think you'll agree that $20,000 is crazy.

 

You're right, I didn't read the add, just looked at the picture. I'd say it's worth about $8000, if it is really rust free like the add says.

 

i picked up this 1939 for 5000.00

 

Damn do these cars ever lay on the ground?

 

Sure, I can or any body else can build them to lay on the ground, nothing to it. But why do I want to build a car that looks like it's broken? A nice stance has more style and more cl***.

 

here is my 40

 

You always have to show off don't you Chris. Haha, jk looks ****in great. Is that still gettin paint soon??

 

I agree, way too much $$$$$

Chris, Any more pictures?
