I've always favored the 1940 Ford but would love to own a great '39 like yours. Such cool features on the '39s like the cowl vent and STILL has the crank out windshield, the "smokers" venting on the side windows, and of course the floor mounted shifter. All great features that Henry "improved" upon by '40. Sweet find. Enjoy it.....Don
That one is truely a great old Ford. I'm all in favor of modifying any car to suit the owners tastes but that is one I would have to leave as is. Let us see what you do to it for stance. Frank
