Old car on grandpa's old farm. OT

Gary Mitchell · Jun 1, 2016

I found this PIC of an old car in the driveway at pop's, our old farm. The PIC is probably late 40s's. Any idea what year or model the car is? Thanks, gm

Gonna say 40's GM but the headlights don't look right....? Ben

Looks a lot like the Dodge our neighboring farmer had years ago.

1940 Chevrolet. It still has separate running boards and headlights. Both were sculpted into the body in 1941. Nice car. Would have had a 216 engine, and three on the tree. Unc

To me it looks like a 1940 Chevrolet.

Yep, '40 Chev. We had 2 of them when I was a kid. Both 4 doors, with rear "suicide" doors. I tested that feature once, when I was about 3- mom slammed on the brakes, door swung shut, no harm done. Only tried it once. lol

Somebodies pride and joy I would guess with the overriders on the bumper and the brows on the headlights!

those cars were worth taking the time to shine up ,,.around 1972 or so ,, a neighbor kid ha d a 41 chevy very similar to that ,,.mice had lived in it too long ,and had a 1962 plate , he had it given to him because he cut a ladies grass , and I helped get it running ,.they pizt me off .after I got it runnin.. IT WAS a STRAIGHT Car, but they got to driving log roads in the woods and jumping ramps and such , knokt a hole in the oil pan and lokt her up ... DAmshame. the kid ended up in jail a few yrs later, and his son was sent up 20 yrs later,. nother kid took a straight 48 Plymouth his dad give him on his 15th birthday and turned it into a jungle bugie,,no hood , no top , no fenders ,no mufflers, chains on the rear tires and the durn thing had positive track .. they went everywhere ..
