That thing with the front wheel looks weird , I found three pictures of -40 Fords that has the same “issue” , I wonder if it is stock or that the front wheel possibly is turned slightly left .. or is it that the side view with the optics does this to the picture ???
The ’39 and 40’s Ford all have this issue.. .but only very slightly.
On this particular ’40 Ford Convertible Custom something somewhere went really wrong. My guess is that it got a subframe along the way, and perhaps for clearance reasons the front axle was moved back a few inches. Or somebody just made a calculation mistake.


Enjoy the beauty of Customizing
