Hot Rods Let's have our own 84th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

^^^^Looks like Aquasco to me^^^^

 

One of my favorite HAMB threads in forever and the year is coming to an end... I think we need to have a 76th anniversary thread too.

 

sounds good to me!

 

man, I'd love to see this car in colour. In my minds eye, I see it purple with lavender scallops.

 

I'm all for it!!

 

A little change of pace and I hope not off-topic. This is one of my Dad's models from the early 60's...12 wins. There was a real version of this 5 years ago that was at Sport Wheels in Jordan, changed hands a few times, and I think went East somewhere 6-2 Small block if I remember correctly


How about a Deluxe coupe with a 6-deuce Nailhead, pinstriped firewall with gauges.

 

And this is a full size version he built years later. 40 coupe, channeled, chopped, 48 Ford rear window, fenders raised, homemade grille, all gas-welded, with a big block Chevrolet and 180 degree headers!

 

This is the original Doug Rice car and inspired my Dads build. I took this picture on a Bonneville Truck with a Hot Rod Mag Collage vinyl wrap.


Here another of Dads


And for contrast a stock bodied car running across the salt in 08

And another....Guess I do like 40's

 

This one makes me smile.

 

This car was for sale in the Vancouver BC area maybe 6-7 years ago. A beautiful 39 Deluxe, nice color, 60's syle black and white interior, five spokes, small block, 4 speed....I lust over this car. I think I saw it in some Goodguys coverage in Arizona recently.......

 

This was a nice little 40 I had a few year back. It had been stored since 71, had a rebuilt flatty. I put a new condenser in it, file the points and it fired right up. My eyes were bigger than my appetite as I had my 34 to finish, and the 40, and really wanted a family cruiser. It had a real light coat of lacquer primer on it that wiped off with some work. I sold it into good hands and here's another shot of it about 6 mos later.

 

I was just thinking I don't think anyone has posted local Hamber BCHRAGuys '39 fordor on this thread. I love the colour on this car.

 

Keep digging these up in my archives..

 

Hard to find a 40 coupe with a perfect chop-but I did!

I don't anything about this truck.

I think the owner is with The Dead Man's Curve car club

 

Look where the engine is.

 

Does anyone know where I can find more pics of this car?

 

The roll bar and driver as well.
