The Ford Barn

In a big way.

I have inquired over the last year or so about a variety of V8 Fords, a shoebox, a 39 and a 50 Merc. I never quite pulled the trigger and, in fact, bought another Model A when my plan was to get one V8 to keep my A Town Sedan company.

A few weeks ago I heard about an original, unrestored 1929 and a 1945 truck for sale near me. When I got there, it was an unrestored 39 4 door sedan and a restored 45 truck. Long story short, I liked both of them and made an offer on the two. Some back and forth and a lot of soul searching and I am the proud owner of 2 flattie V8s! I must have lost my mind. Anyway, below are a some shots of my new acquisitions.

The 39 is mostly original paint and has an original interior.

39:

There is a beauty in the homeliness of the jail bar Ford trucks. This looks like a very nice one, albeit with some extra chrome, especially given the year. The title says 45, and there is some further documentation about this. I will need to do some more research.
