Description
Time warp old school kool & incredibly well preserved, this sweet & timeless "40 Deluxe Coupe" was proudly featured on the cover of Street Rodder Magazine (circa 8/1987). Professionally built by the legendary Norm Francis of El Cajon, California, this well documented resto-rod has survived the test of time in true style, between 2 prominent So-Cal hot-rodders. The best part of owning a real "Hot-Rod" is often the history that goes with them and the overall character that they offer. "Heat Wave Hot, Surf's Up and All is Right with the World".
