anybody have pics of hotrod 40 coups, not streetrod pics

heres an old one

 

Actually, those are both 39 deluxe coupes. The 2nd one has 40 deluxe front grill, but the flip out windshield gives it away.

I would post picks of mine, but my computer recently dumped and I lost them.

 

bones35, do you have a bigger pic of that '39 you could email me? I love it!

 

'Big Ric' has one of the baddest hotrod 40's in my opp.
Unfortunately i don't have any pics of it..

Maybe someone else does and can post it for you..

The 40's are my second favorite early ford..i love the line's of those cars.

 

two super hamb cars! big ric's 40 is one of the best

 

Kustum anyone?


Hot Rod

 

Here is one that is always sitting out in front of Vintage Ford Parts in Stanton off of Beach Blvd....

 

Jack's Lowrodders chop job...kustom style, not so much hot rod, though it is running a big block Chevy motor.

 

Yeah, I know it is a '39, not a '40, but they're sooo close. Enjoy.

 

I love then chopped

cougardan,
Thanks for posting pics of '40 HOTRODS!

(That aren't also streetrods...)

 

DrJ,
What would be the discriminator that seperates the two, Street Rod / Hot Rod? I posted the red coupe just for the reaction that I anticipated. Its a plus .030, 350, dual quads, good heads, comp cam, roller rockers and all the rest of the good **** to include a high stall converter, 350 turbo with a shift kit and an 8" Ford, 4:11 posi. Old school Edelbrock valve covers with Moon side breathers and a Ribbed air breather by Dennis O'Brien. I drove this car in the primer for 10 years before I decided to paint it and it will run consistent 12:90s........and it ain't a ****ing Hot Rod?

"Street Rod" on this board doesn't just mean "street-driven hot rod." It means post-1972 styling cues. Particularly monochromatic paint and radial tires.

 

After much thought about it, over a long period of time, I concluded, at least for me anyway, that the only discriminator is whether or not the vehicle has or doesn't have a valid license plate.
Don't mis my point though.
Being a (licensed) Street Rod doesn't mean it's not also a HOTROD!
I just don't think the term and broad group "Street Rod" deserves to be run down like it is.

But of course, feel free to formulate your own definiton of either/both...

 

In my oponion all of the pictures posted thus far (except for one) are hot rods weather they are plated or not.

My wife and I have this discussion a lot (we never argue ). I can look at two 40 coupes sitting side by side and see a one hot rod and one street rod. She just sees two 40 coupes . I say she just doesn't get it and I tell her she just doesn't understand what real hot rods are .
