Hot Rods Let's have our own 85th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

Love That 1940 Glad you are keeping it up. Was it in good condition when you found it?

 

saw the tutone brown one at Gary's Gay Parita when we came from Nashville to Springfield Route 66 a few years back. while scrolling just now I saw it and knew I recognized it. When I saw Bret's stake truck and that bridge I knew it was. Is that the bridge down the road from Gary's heading back into Springfield?

 

Is this a local picture? It looks like Abbe rd. Sunoco across from Drug Mart

 

Curious if anyone doesn’t appreciate that I post some Mercury and Lincoln photos along with the 39 and 40 Fords. If so the Mod’s can delete.

 

...I don't have an issue with them.

 

^^^^Cool images^^^^

 

^^^Amazing how the Tan(?) Sedan looks spotlessly clean while the dark Sedan next to it must live on a dirt road or the owner just doesn't care to keep it clean.^^^

 

Tall And Proud...

 

Tan sedan sits a few inches lower than the other two.

 

That's a different bridge that doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately. It was located here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/bdkyC94eT97Dm8CC9

Thanks for reminding me that I need to work on making a route for the SWMO Hot Rod Hundred and get registration opened. LOL

 

...You're right! Early Hot Rod?...reversed eye spring maybe.

 

The sedan in the foreground is on a lift. They never sat THAT high.

 

I see we are on 300th page for this thread! Thanks everyone for keeping this thread alive! Not my car,wish it was though...

 

Can you imagine trying to back one of those sedans into a fright car!!!!!!!!!!!! I have trouble just backing one out of a car trailer !

 

Love this coupe….

 

This truck is SSSSOOOOOOO RIGHT!
