Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

What are the skirts from?

 

She ain't much but she's mine

 

My new fave that I found on the Custom Car Chronicles. A 41 Merc done up in 1948. Definatly an early custom.

 

Trim rings

 

Autorama Sacramento

 

What a waste, I don't know where it is.

 

My old clunker.

 

I'd like to get some 16" full wheel covers for this pile but it seems like all I can find are 15" covers. What full wheel covers did they make back in the day that were 16"? Also will full wheel covers clear my stock rear axle stub? I love a 55 oldsmobile cover. Not the popular fiesta cap but the one without the bars

 

A 47 I owned for a short time. 2007
With a 49 Merc Flathead and 3 on the tree.
Had shaved drip rails and trunk lid.

 

The Y-block received some attention

 

Ed, your coupe has a nice stance. How do you have the front end set up? Reversed spring eye? Longer shackles? Dropped axle? Thanks

 

Blues4u, The front end has a dropped axle, reversed spring eye and smaller diameter tires.

 

It looks great!

 

Thanks

 

Just dropped in my good used 8 cm motor and it runs really good. It has great power no smoking no noises .

 

Took my old wreck to the Perris airport for an afternoon car thing plus skydiving. Parked by a guy with a club coupe. It doesn’t look like it in the picture but it’s 105° there plus the heat off the tarmac. As usual for local airports, they have a cafe and the food is awesome.

 

CAN WE SEE THIS "OLD LADY OF WHOM YOU SPEAK ?"

 

Gave the 47 a comet and green scuff pad bath . There’s a lot to do to the car yet but a bath seemed to help me feel like I got something done to it

 

@Okie Pete I'm anxious to see your build posts of your '47!
