One of my all time favorites of the Ford lineup, a very nice "at speed" pan!

Great shot of a cool car. Some mods done, I see trac-bars on that one.
In my era, 1950s, that was one of the most desired cars for the hot rod set. If you had money a Chrysler hemi, big wide valve covers sticking out the side, 4 speed and if you had real money, Halibrand quick change rear and a 6/71 blower sitting on top. Otherwise a 283, 3 duces, 4 speed and be very careful of the drive train. Oh a raised rear end larger rims and rear tires in back, smaller in front to get that California rake.

My oldest brother will be 80 next week. In 1958 he had a '40 Ford pickup with a Hemi, six deuces, metallic blue paint, rolled and pleated metallic blue seats etc.
That was a fun truck for a bunch of youngsters living in a town of less than 100,000.
I was four years young than brother James; but he never minded giving me a ride to school.
Great memories. But I don't think any of us have a photo of that truck.

I have always like this model ford. Had chance to buy one in 1967 with a 289 in it for 500.00. That was like a few thousand for a poor airman.Jul 2, 2019 12:32:17 #

I used to own one, only mine was grey. The car pictured is what they called a business coupe.

Great picture. I thought the grill indicated it was a 1939.
