Congrats, looks great, what tranny is in it?

All I can say is "Beautiful" '39's have a special place in my heart.

I like the no bumper look, it could save a little on gas, too. When I got out of HS, I bought a 57 Austin Healey. I took the front bumper of of it, because it looks so darn good. The 60 - 63 Falcons, also look good that way.

This car just had the bumpers removed it was on its way into the shop to have the screen fitted but on the way it got loose on the tow truck ,pushed the quarter in ,we ended up with more to do ,

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

tubman, in MA, just about anything we alter on cars is illegal. (you should see the Bronco I built!) Luckily, at my age, they don't bother me like when I was young. (I'll post a picture below.)

1931 Flamingo, there were more sleepless nights than I care to remeber!

corvette8n , It's the factory 3 speed on the floor. I really wanted a flathead, manual car.

frnkeore , I'm with you, when I was a kid, no bumpers screamed Hot Rod!

FlatheadTed, that flat out sucks, but the repairs look awesome without the color on it. Can you post up some more pics of that beautiful coupe?

With you it was probably the "chopper" not the candy apple red paint job it had.

Great story and a great car. Thanks for sharing.
This is a dream car for me.

Cobra Joe · 04-20-2020, 07:08 AM

Thanks AKCJ , it was for us too and our plan was really to build one, we just lucked out and were able to buy a completed car for considerably less than I could build one.

Joe
When we hook up again after sheltering in place, bring the registration for that Bronco
I still have my old Mass citation book and will be very happy to issue you a citation for it.
HAHA.
Your 39 is beautiful.
