Thread: How do.. "New" 1939 Ford Steel Tudor Owner

Tweet

So a bit of history on the car I got from the builder today.

it is a titled 1939 Ford Deluxe, but the hood, grille, and front are from a 1938 Standard, the reason being apparently that the car had some front damage and the when Darryl started the build he wanted a 1938 as to name it the ".38 Speical" cars and guns ya know..

but he couldn't find a straight body '38 in his budget, but did find this '39.. So he made the '39 look like a '38. as it was to be a street rod, keeping original wasn't a big deal.

So yes this is a '39 but the front is a '38, which is ok by me as I like the '38 front better myself as the '39 looks a little to much like the '39 Mercury, Never quite understood the "twin model" mentality across the American car lines, and the '38 Ford look is unique to the '38 Ford.

Once upon a time I had a 40 standard and to say that I admire your car is an under statement.
