19Fordy has some good advice but has it backwards on the ashtrays. What you have are the most common later ones, the early ones push up.

Also, as mentioned in another post some states required 2 tail lights (such as mine) and in the factory 1940 body parts book lists a separate LH fender with (Washington) clearly stated. I don't know about Pennsylvania.

The V8 (aka standard) models only came in 3 colors, Black, Lyon Blue and Cloud Mist Gray (actually a green color)

You are way ahead of the game with such a good starting point. I also have a V8 Business coupe (Cloud Mist Gray).
