1940 Fords
 

A pair of 40's out for some fun on a great day.

Re: 1940 Fords
 

Nothing better than a '40 Ford, but I am a little prejudiced about 40s.

Re: 1940 Fords
 

Amen!!

Re: 1940 Fords
 

Very nice looking pair of '40's.
Amazing there are so many that have survived or been restored.

Re: 1940 Fords
 

I used to have 4 but now only a pair but I do love them.

It is amazing because so many became race cars and went to the oval tracks where they were destroyed.

Where could I get a set of front brake shoes for a stock 40 Ford? Thanks in advance,

If you buy repros. make sure the bound bottom adjustment holes are centered just like the OEM. Some are faulty.

Double whites ended in 1939 according to my sources.

Larry,
It was all I could get at the time, was a supply problem, Coker had just bought out the Universal Tire Company and the backlog was "years" and "unknown" if they would be making any more of the singles. This was quite a while back! I have diamond back radials on there now, much more pleasant to drive.
