Yes, welcome. I think the 40/41 Fords were the best looking ones Ford ever made. Be nice to it.

Welcome to the Ford Barn!
I don't know about the best looking, but I do love the looks of a 41 Ford!

Another '41 in Melb would be great to see. Hope it arrives safely.

She's finally home!







and I'm in love! I have been pretty lucky and have only some minor issues, radiator, water pumps and M/C kit.

I'm enjoying the heck out of it!

fortyonerag, Here is another imported 1941 Ford from the USA. Very few 1941 Fords were sold here when they were new, on account of the war effort. I can only recall seeing one Fordor Sedan locally in the Sixties, and it finished up in a local junk yard many years later. I also saw the remains of a few Sedans in a wrecking yard out west. It seems that there were more 1941 Ford Utes. These Utes were made from Sedans. They were used by the Army. So, it is refreshing to see your Convertible and this Coupe over here and appreciated by enthusiasts in Australia. Your Convertible looks great.

Wow, that is a great read mercman. Very informative. Now how about slopers, when did they quit making those?

willowbilly3, Check out this Link. Way back, I posted lots of pictures and information on the Australian Slopers to this Post. However, most pictures are small, as these were posted before I learnt how to post large pictures. Mercman <><

Thanks mercman. I did read part of that a few years ago.

Anyway, that convert is one sweet car. I bet the 54 Cheby was nice too. I learned to drive in a 54 Belair 2 door sedan.
