Well ,what does the team think of this? not sure if it's been on here before? It's a bit like me, got a face only a mother could love!!

Terry,OH · 01-09-2016, 06:16 AM

Very nice!

Don Rogers · 01-09-2016, 07:10 AM

Your Ugly Coe, was probably an off spring of this company. It took Henry a few more years to make his own version.

Boy, that's a nice looking thing to laugh. ha ha ha Walt

not quite positive but I think a company called Dearborn line created those truck and that inspired Ford to make one starting in 1938--beautiful truck!! this was a friend of mine's 38 COE

Very interesting.

Super Super Rare!

How did the hood open? Was the hood in the floor?

JSeery · 01-09-2016, 08:08 PM

Don't think it's a hood, believe it's an engine cover.

I agree, but if you zoom in on the ad that Don posted, it says hood.

That is one ugly truck. When Ford Motor Company released their first COE's for 1938, it was a much better looking vehicle.

JSeery · 01-09-2016, 10:39 PM

Yep, it says flat floor over the engine. Maybe it has a hood arrangement on the front. Interesting, think the Ford design uses an engine cover with the engine higher in the cab.

This 1938 Ford COE belonging to alanwoodieman's friend is a much better looking truck. Ford got it right with this one.

Hi Everyone, Sorta train-wreck-ish. Can't stop looking at it and I don't know why.

It's hard to make that beautiful grill look bad.

Wow...beautiful

!!
Wonder what build # was ?

Graeme / New Zealand · 01-11-2016, 01:09 AM

My first impression was beautiful but "bloody ugly". But when I look at one of these hitched to the trailer I take my initial view back (its just beautiful).

Now that is pretty and "brawny" looking too. I'd happy to drive that just as a tractor the other truck I would need to have the trailer hitched.
