Wow, the car really looks great! They sure did that one quickly, I thought it was going to take years for it to get finished. I’ve always liked this car, it’s nice to see a ’40 Ford that has a custom grill and other changes that we don’t usually see. I’d love to see it in person. Thanks for posting this!
I love this car! It has just enough of that unique early ’50s restyling to make it different, yet still classy. I think there is a fine line that can be crossed with that, but this car shows restraint while still being wild and using parts off of a number of different makes. I love the slanted A pillars and Nash grill. It seems as if the car is even more striking today than it appeared in old pictures. Beautiful job on the restoration, too!
