I want '31 A coupe done all traditional and built like it would have been in the 40's. With a stock flathead V8. Black wire wheels and my own homebuilt frame. I am going to be looking for one in nine months when I move to Cali.
That's my super behind the 40's. Carroll Shelby couldn't make it with an original, so these guys showed up.
I just love those old GT40's only seen one real one running at Fun Ford at Houston Raceway Park. Ridden in a new one my dads friend has. To bad I wasnt alive in the glory days when they raced them (I am only 22) but hands down a beautiful fast car with tons of history.
I can pick just one. 1937 Hudson Terraplane Coupe. Gal I knew when I was 19 had one, gave me my first hummer.
saw a 40 at summit point road coarse a few years ago, lee holman(holman-moody)had a le mans practice car there (#11) 427. asked him what it would do down the straight.3/4 mile on 2.5mile track. he said car had a little too long a legs for the track, brian redman invite, anyway he was'nt lieing ran like a scalded dog,engine tone was unreal, got to look at it in pits exaust was work of art.
Just about any '40 Ford coupe. I keep climbing the automotive property ladder. Someday. You gotta' work real hard to make one ugly! El Matador or the yellow one in Hollywood Knights with the frenched headlights and pankaked hood. Anybody know whos' car this was? Any pics?
This is true. But with a gun to my head, I guess I'd settle on a Cord 810 or 812 sedan. It just has a little of everything I like, and what it ain't got don't matter.
Well how about, the one I sold 10 years ago, or 20 or.. and the one I'm going to get "someday"... otherwise to hard, depends on mood and weather, etc.
One is totaly inpossible. 51 chevy 41 willys 55 chevy ford gt40 all go fast mopars lincoln 49-56 merc 49-56 and on and on
