    Let's not forget our cultural heritage in rodding. I have to admit the front-point-rear-slope of the '39-'40 Fords and Mercury coupes and convertibles is stuck in my mind as "classic" and represent the taste of poor boys like me; for me that is "swoopy", particularly the '40 Merc painted red or orange! There may even be some sort of aerodynamic reasoning behind the pointed nose and flattened rear of '40s Fords? Also let's not forget the neat look of a chopped '29, the rear of the Ford A and B Model coupes and roadsters have that appealing slope in the back, but maybe I read too many issues of HRM back before my brain was frozen in time?
