A 30 year dream just came true for me- Always wanted a '40 Ford, and brought this one home yesterday. Got it from an 82 year old man who bought it in 1956 and had it stored for the last 47 years. He and his wife were sure sad to see it go, but he knew his car building days were over, and wanted to see it run again. It has a '49 Merc flathead, but otherwise it's stock. I haven't seen one this solid for a long time- gotta look hard to find any rust. I plan on getting it running and safe, and will put some miles on it. Might paint it some day, but I kinda like it's old look. It won't get a %&$# Chevy motor! He put oil in the cylinders the last time he spun it over in the mid '70's, but it's stuck now. Hope to free it up without tearing it apart. This might put a little dent in my tractor addiction for a while!
