Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by nitrobrother, May 1, 2013.

  1. I bought the car already chopped nitro.. I can tell you that there is about 10" of windshield height left after the chop.. There are a couple of pics of the work in progress as performed by Barry Mazza and fellow club members on Rik Hoving's terrific custom archive site: http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/ Check the folder of Barry's photo collection.

    The car that inspired my love for '47-'48 Fords (even though it's usually a '46!). Such a great-looking car.

    In the three pictures you have three different types of hub-caps on this nice car. Half Moons with rings, Cadillac, and Full Moons. Nice nosing job too.
     
  8. Hey Mr. Holley, you might want to make sure you quote the posting that you're replying to. Otherwise no one knows to what you are referring.

    Here is my 48....Great car, even my wife drives it. Run 2 different sets of wheels on it, one more HAMB friendly than the other. Want to make some changes on the car but it's hard to tear down a car that gets driven often

  20. Sharp period look - suspect it was powered by a flathead Ford - other cool engine is the Caddy.

    That was the car that started my affair with fat fender Fords.. I still have the magazine, somewhere.
    Since the sixties I have had a total of eight 41,42, 46-48 Fords and Mercs. Still have three 46-48 Ford business coupes.. Waiting in line for next project:D
     
  22. I'm not affiliated with these guys at all, but it does look like a nice build, flathead and all!
     
  23. Still hunting for color photos of it! Really want to see that "vibrant Tangerine orange..."
