I think you found a 40 standard. Great find, regardless.

I bet your right on the 40. The guy that owns it swore it was a 38 which I new wasn't correct. I was thinking it was a 39 standard. Thanks

Wow, What a great find. The sheet metal looks OK to? Definitely a 1940 Ford Standard Coupe. If it had been a 1939 model, there would be no Quarter Windows, the Windscreen would have opened and the Windscreen Wipers would have been mounted at the top. I hope you took it home with you?

That 1950 Ford F3 you found is none to shabby. It looks like it just needs a battery and you could drive it away. It is hard to believe these old cars survive so well in snow country?

If you look at the rear fenders, a '40 standard will have only a single tail light of the " Chevron" style, a '39 will have two tail lights of the "tear drop" style. The stainless trim in the photos is '40 standard. The dash will also be different from '39 to '40. Round gauges are '39, rectangle gauge cluster is '40.

'40 standard grilles are a lot easier to find than '39 deluxe ones.
Just call Drake.

It's definitely a 40 coupe, but it has a 39 grille!
