  • Mike and our Swedish helpers Carl & Jacob took a quick trip to Northern Virginia to look at a 1940 Ford Tudor. We we offered the car after the highest bidder showed up and offered a 1/3 of his original bid. The car needed to be removed from the property by the weekend and the estate offered us the car!

    It's hard to believe that in 2023 that this car survived intact and near perfect original, incredible.

    Wow. Already in better shape than the "Forgotten '39" sedan! This one is too nice to do much more than bring it back to factory specs!

    I'll always love the '40 Ford. Beautiful lines and that simple art-deco dash is so nice.

    Very nice , love these 40's . My oldest brother had a 40 coupe and he let me learn to drive in it and I was hooked . He let me drive it in high school and I was top dog in automotive shop . I was suppose to have gotten it when I graduated , but Uncle Sam had other plans in 1968 . When I came home the 40 was gone and my brother had moved to California, bummer lol . To this day the 40 is my favorite. Thanks for the memories.

I Wonder if this was my Dad's best friend's car....my Dad painted it in the 50's..he stripped it and was ready to paint and the shop owner told him to go home.....Dad told him it was going to rust if he left it bare metal overnight..he said go home....he came in the next morning and it had a orange haze on it...rust....he painted it and shortly thereafter the paint started peeling off....the owner got pissed and parked it and never drove it again....he passed away in 2015.

    I would love to drive it, my 40 has a Chevy 283, 3 speed in the floor with a GM rear end. It wallows a bit on the road but I am running bias ply wide whitewalls. Mine looks stock and I like that, even has single exhaust.
