Description

Nice Bones! Eighty years young, solid Seniors such as this are special characters and have a tendency to be very inviting. They have the ability to capture just about anyone's attention and speak for themselves with the test of time. Oh yes, if they could only talk, what kind of stories would they tell?

Where do we start? Absolutely rock solid Henry steel, you can't pay for this type of patina, personality and overall presence. This is the type of car that can be enjoyed and driven just the way it is and/or easily taken to the next level. Known So-Cal history and sporting much of its original "Washington Blue" paint on most of the body, jambs and deck lid while the fenders, hood and catwalks have been refinished or maintained over the years. Respected, it has not been modified, chopped or filled and all original panels fit better than sock's on a rooster ;-) We think you get it...

Mechanically sound and extremely roadworthy, you will appreciate stepping back in time, every single time you fire it up or shift a gear. It has had a good mechanical once over and ever so-light update by southern California's well known Early Ford specialists, the Kennedy Brothers. Features include a smooth running and later model 59AB Flathead V8, Stromberg 97 2v carburetor, period Fenton headers, dual glass pack exhaust, manual 3 speed transmission and stock rear differential. Read on for more...   

The original "factory VIN numbered chassis" features the same level of professional upgrades including tediously installed 1940 Ford hydraulic drum brakes, master cylinder, brake lines and floor mount emergency brake. Other features include dropped front axle, 4 corner gas shocks, all new cloth wiring, restored charging system and Deluxe trimmed steel wheels with period style bias ply tires. Yes Sir...

The interior also takes you back in time with a tidy factory style cloth/mohair style interior seating, door panels, loop carpet and wool headliner with light patina and age unknown. The door and window garnish moldings have received a freshen up of the wood grain finishes while the dash brings you a taste of it's wonderful originality. All factory gauges and switches are fully functional. Upgrades include safety seat belts and hidden I-Pod audio connection with sub woofer. There ya have it...

In closing, if you have not had the chance to visit our 20+ minute HD Video review and 60+ high resolution photos, now would be the time to do it, it's worth your time. This is the type of car that will surprise and delight, you will dig it... Solid American Iron! Good Day... Paul Harvey...
