Features Model 40 picture thread 1933 / 1934

Yeah, I remember it was heavy. My Dad bought that at the Portland swap meet 15-20 years ago for is sedan....he paid a ton for it because they did not repop em yet and a nice plated one was 5k-up. He just figured he's have to run a painted one. Years later he found a pretty decent one so that one just hung in the shop

 

Get back to work on it! That is some good work you have done there, sure would like to see it finished! Keep us posted with pics, more and more we will be building coupes out of four door sedans.

 

Happy to see this thread went so well, keep em comin!!!!

 

Finally got mine on the road. Still working the bugs, but enjoying it none the less! 8BA flatty, T-5, 9 inch. Driving it daily!!

 

33 tudor - nice job! I like the driveline combination you are using.

 

Always love the 33/34 with a Custom twist... they look very good that way.
I wish some more of these would be done up a Custom way these days, just like they were done back in the 1940's.

I came across these photos on the AHRF site...

33-34 Ford 5-window coupe with a chopped top, 1936 Chevy grille, DeSoto bumpers and a set in license plate. The ripple disk hubcaps look to be a rare aftermarket item made in the 1930's...

 

That '40s custom is... Wowza!

 

Damn Rikster, thats cool!!

 

Here is another one I found on the AHRF site that had a Custom Car feel about it.
Solid hood sides and a great shape on the un-chopped top.

 

Here are some pictures I have collected over past few years from the HAMB and the internet.

 

Here are some updated pictures of mine.Darrell

 

Mine's just undergone a second chop. Originally 3" now 4 3/4

 

picked this one up last summer . first pic is how i found it after sitting in the same spot covered in pallets and barn tin since 1949 and the second pic is of the car after i sanded a bit of the heavy scale off of it and sprayed it with gibbs oil and threw a set of Kelsey hayes bent spokes on it





and i owned this one for a year or two back a couple years ago

 

Wish it was mine, I've offered up my wife in trade plenty of times

If I won Power Ball I'd have a Model 40 (and a garage!). In the mean time, here are some images I've harvested off the Interwebzzzz...

 

Unfortunately I don't know who's photos these are, so I can't give the rightful credit to them. Sorry...

 

More image theft/harvesting...

 

This one pushes so many of my buttons...

 

Sweet...

 

Sheesh, don't I have any sedan pics? I guess not...

 

I don't care if this IS 'glass...it's cool.

 

I added this to another thread but what the hell?!

 

The Odbert 5 window

I don't know who took them, but I know who's car it is

Looks like Sins Of Steel car show In this, and the next group of photos.
