Hi all this is my new ride. I went on my first trip to the USA at the start of the year. It's been my dream to go over and find a car, well I was lucky enough to do that. I wanted to do it for a long time and finally my lovely wife said do it, go find a car get it out of your system. I looked online for ages for a 41 coupe as I've loved them since I was a teenager and was lucky enough to find one I liked. A deal was made, deposit made to hold for my arrival a week later. I landed in LA and drove straight out to look at this 41, it was everything I wanted, it was perfect! Paid my money, deal was done and I had my dream car. So after the 41 was dropped at the shipping yard we went and had a look at Pomona swap which was awesome except I was pretty hungover lol. Met up with fcarnut here on the hamb, was great chatting with u Tom. We then left LA and drove to Arizona and caught up with sneakytiki, who I brought my 59 coupe off. What a top bloke, was great to meet justin in person i had spoken to him quite a bit on the phone he was also looking out for cars for us. He put us up for the night. He also took us cruising in his awesome 55 gasser wagon, what a blast! It was the highlight of my trip. He also took us to meet his mate Glen with his very tough model A. Was a whirlwind trip did not do anywhere enough car stuff but I will make up for that on the next trip! This is how it landed in Australia All cleaned and polished up Plans are some skirts drop it down in the rear (taildragger) and just drive the shit out of it Heres Justin sweet 55
Awesome car, and great story... (Also sounds like a great Wife) Now get it lowered and ENJOY... Cheers, Bob
Great looking ride,would look awesome lowered and tail dragging like in the old days.I can see that its ballarat due to no side walks in the pic...used to go there alot when i was younger to vist relatives.
I've owned MANY cars in my day and the one that I never should have sold, especially cuz I was just pissed at it that day, was my 41 Coupe. I went HOT ROD with mine, but I dig yours a bunch
I call bullshit what about the endless phone calls and texts to me? Congrats on getting it home finally, and the car looks even better in person.
Thats a really nice coupe, great score. The wait would kill me knowing it was on its way. Drive the wheels off it!!!
