41 Carson top Custom history needed

I recently got a 41 ford custom in 2001 is was registered to a Wayne Hobbs in Tracy CA Would love to hear about the car if anyone knows any of hte history on it.

Thanks Lars

 

I got this carson top tag from the original carson top shop witht he car.

 

Dont know the History but it's cool! Nice find!

 

Saw this picture on Riksters site. Probably not the same car but this is how it could look very easily!

 

I have that same houser Carson top tag from my 39 merc convertible.

 

No joke, I had to do a double take.

 

Wow, congrats! Just needs skirts, hubcaps and a couple of inches lower in the back for perfection, but you probably know that...

 

Sorry I can't help, but cool car!

 

Thanks Yeah its a great ride has a flathead in it, drives good. Apple spotlights lots of chrome extra chrome.

 

I likey!!!

 

Very nice. You said you recently bought it in 2001 or is that a typo and you ment 2011. If so I know of one that was built about 5 or 6 years ago for a guy around Reddings ca.

 

I just got it but 2 owners ago was a guy in Tracey California named Wayne Hobbs and I have a registration from him in 2001. So I am hoping someone in the east bay will know this car. Or someone from the nor cal central valley area.

 

I owned a '41 Merc. convertible with a Carson Top in 1955. It was a nice looking automobile. I foolishly sold it to a neighbor who had a lot of money when I needed it. I only wish I had that car now. Nice machine, good ride and great lines. Look at what one is worth now in good condition.

that's a nice 41!

 

x2!

Nice car man, lucky guy

 

I don't know about the car, but I want it! Some details would be interesting and might help id the car, what motor?

 

It has a H&H built flathead in it

 

Funny, there was a guy from Houston named Wayne Hobbs, truck driver by trade, who owned a nice Cali-built 41 Carson-topped custom convertible but it was updated with later sheet metal. He also owned a nice 31 A Roadster with an OHV converted 4banger and 32 shell and grille. Don't know who owns the A now but think Bill Wahlberg here in town owns the custom.

 

Intersting as the car did come by way of texas, any way to get ahold of your wayne hobbs ?

 

So sorry but Wayne died some years ago. Check the phone book for Bill Wahlberg. I don't know if he has left us yet or not. Both were/are nice guys with lots of early Ford knowledge and great storytellers! Wayne's 41 custom came from Cali back in the 60s, but it did have 46-48 front and rear sheet metal on it when he had it.

 

Very cool. I love 41's, and the padded top on your car flows very well.

 

what happend to the pics?
