Projects My New 1940 Ford

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking for another car. I’m the last one who needs another car, but I’m always looking for deals.
My family and I have been driving the wheels off my 29A Tudor but we are out growing it for over night or long haul trips.
I thought a 39 or 40 Tudor would be a great replacement. Then I saw this ‘40 deluxe more door for sale locally, and thought I should at least go check it out.
Admittedly, I’ve never been a fan of anything with 4 doors. But , I started to like this old car. It wasn’t running at the moment , but it had recently. And I could tell I could trust the great old guy who owned it, but I walked away.
A week and a few days passed and I couldn’t get the old ford out of my head. I started looking at pictures of hotrodded 4 door 39/40’s and began to think I could make this work with the right stance and wheels.
So, I made a deal on this 60k mile, all original 1940 ford with mostly original paint and original interior.
The family I bought her from was the 2nd owner and had her for a few years. She became part of the family and named her Henrietta. They were absolutely great to meet and they have future visitation rights.

Enough words , time for pictures.



More of this story to come, But she is already running again.

 

Very Well Accomplished....Thank You...

 

Great looking car should be miles of fun.

 

Wow, congrats.

 

that's a nice one can not wait to see it cleaned up

 

That will make a great family rod.

 

Maybe your son will be driving a '40 Fordor to high school, like I did! Have fun with it.

 

Congratulations. That looks cool.

 

I like it !!! Enjoy !!!

 

ya done good - great that you do not have any other projects that might limit your focus on your new toy

 

Dang that's sweet - now you just need to get rid of all those rusting hulks in the shop......that 40 might go Christine on the others !

 

I would have jumped on that Ford! You were really lucky it was still available after a few days Looks terrific.

 

That car looks to be in great shape. Congratulations

 

Dam nice car , I don't need another car myself but if a 40 came along as nice as yours I be after it asap

 

Great start for a project even if it's a too-many door!

I don't really like them but what do you think I own?

 

Nice lookin' sedan. But that thing sure fills up your shop. I could help you make some room in there by bringing that red deuce down here and parking it next to my yellow one!

 

She's a real sweetie! And is that an extra parking brake sitting on the floormat?

 

Nice. If I ever run into a good deal on 40 I might just jump on it too.

 

My old Cloud Mist Grey sedan on it's way to a new caretaker. I really liked that Fordor. Enjoy yours.

 

Is a cool ride, 4 doors included. Looks solid.

 

Congrats on your 40 Sedan! Hope you have a ton of fun with her!

 

I love those front turn signal lights.

 

congratulations on the 40 and your son is sure growing up from when you lived in Platte City.

 

Maybe Buford Pusser owned it. Walkin' Tall!

 

Nice car!

 

That’s funny, I told him and his friends that last night. He’s 12 now and thought that was a cool idea, will see if that changes in 4 years.

 

Your old 4 door looks great. Stance makes all the difference.

 

Cool car. Thats the car I learned to drive in back in the 60s. My brother still has it. Love those fordys !

 

Nice find. That car is a sweetheart. Congrats!
