History Anyone recognize this '39 Ford?

I found this in the Dec '75 issue of Rod Action. Dig the Nash grille!

 

Thats a great looking car. I wonder if it is still around.

Rik might know....

 

... It looks like one I saw on Craigslist in Charlotte last year, I was a day late on it... Wasnt in real good shape... I believe they were asking 2500?

I thought I had seen a thread with a similar car, that is the car!
I hope it gets restored.

 

There was a post on facebook and from memory the new owner had plans to restore it.

 

Looks like a car a guy named "Slick" would drive!

 

Cabover posted pics of the restored Slick Patterson '39. Detroit Autorama, Thursday Night

 

Wow, looks great. Any less blurry pics?

 

Rik posted some on his site ---> http://www.customcarchronicle.com/?p=11217

 

That came out nice! Glad the owner decided to go with a faithful restoration

The owner/restorer is Roddy Moore from Ferrum, VA. He is also the restorer of the Bob Bateman roadster (a Hot Rod mag cover car) as well as a '49 Ford Alexander Brothers Ford.

 

It's great to see this car restored. I remember it from the late sixties, when it sat for ages at a service station on US Route 1. (Customs were passe by then. But not for me!)

Here is a similar treatment applied to a '41 Lincoln Continental.
