Any Idea on What I've Got Here?

[doctorquant]

Hello all, perhaps this isn't the proper board but it seemed reasonable as a starting point ...


I have recently found myself in charge of my late uncle's "fleet" of old Fords. Said fleet includes two '40 Fords (I think) and I have no idea as to: A) how much these might be worth (and how to find out); and B) how I might go about finding VIN-like information so as to get them legally in the name of whoever ultimately buys them.


Attached is an old picture of the two of them ...


Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
