Hot Rods Let's have our own 84th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

..............You can say that again,Mark. I would be regretting selling that car for a long, long time.

 

Car is apparently sold now. What a beauty!

 

I bought Mikes 40, need info on engine-dave [email protected]

 

I have a 40 coupe deluxe, a 40 pickup, a 40 standard 2 dr sedan and a 40 merc 4dr sedan conv.. Someone will sell them..... when I'm gone......

 

...........We need pictures to confirm.

 

OK, You're good .

 

By my standards, yes, George, as long as it is a deluxe. I follow the Orange County 40 club member criteria: 39 deluxes, all 40's and 41 commercial!

 

When I was stationed in El Paso in 1962, I got orders to SE Asia and had to leave in a week. My first 40, a standard coupe, had to be sold. Went to another troop, a guy from CA. Talk abot many years of future regret!

 

Tuesday evening get-together. My '40 and my friend's '39.

 

Last nights cruise in Plainfield,Illinois

 

I went to the Goodguys event in Spokane WA last weekend As usual my pictures are not the greatest but I am going to share them with you anyway.
















These last three pictures are of a friend of mines 40. It's a little OT but a great car with a late model Hemi in it. He usually puts old 32's in his cars but tried s0mething different this time. If you are in the market for a great coupe this would be a good one.


This blue coupe had some interesting bumper stuff going on. The owner said he would get them plated someday.



Same blue coupe as above. Door panel is kind of unique.

 

Spokane continued.


I never saw the owner of this car so I don't know if it is an old custom or or not.











I was pretty happy to have my 40 awarded the Forty's forever pick. Kind of different award . It is an enameled aluminum sign..... I'll take it though

Some nice converts were there. Thanks for posting those Sam.

 

You are welcome both of those 39's were beautiful restorations! The tan one had a columbia two speed and rolled right along on the free way.

 

ScottyB's should give you a free steak now and then for all the free publicity they get from you!

Thanks for the pictures Dave, would have liked to have been there.
