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.
