Love the car. In that day it would have been an Olds or Caddie. Not a flame guy but again, in its day most had some. One of my fantasy cars for sure. If they won't rodded they would all have been in the scrap yards.🦇
There is no car that looks better than a forty ford . In my humble opinion especially black and the front end with the beautiful styling begs flames sir you own the quintessential hot rod thanks for sharing this beauty.
I had a 40 coup for my first car. Soon the block cracked, and I put in a brand new 64 283 high performance. Immediately the transmission blew and I installed a Muncie and Chev real end. I loved it. I stiffened up the suspension and it was a great flat tracker. Later on I installed ram induction with 2 fours. Then wrecked it. lol. Should have kept it. Only the rear end was squashed due to a 180 crash into a mountain side from a dead end road in the fog.
Fine looking Ford, these were always my favorite pre war cars. I have a 40 pickup that is stalled out in mid restoration, just never seem to have the time or energy to get it put back together.
My father has a 1940 Ford coupe deluxe hes trying to sell with 2000hp and nitrous. It had original frame that was extended 3in. Dale Earnhardt drove my father's car once. It was built by hendrix motorsports and a couple other big name companies. It's an absolute weapon.
