I like the lines of the 40-41 coupe. This is nice look at the trunk line. Make a nice resto candidate for the right price.

So, you like this car's rear aye! You must be a butt man. Lots of lookers and no takers at $1,500.00. It needs skirts and loads of restoration. The tail lights are peculiar and make the car look like it's googlie eyed. Where the heck is the speedo?

Speedo is cool its in the dash behind steering wheel in this Buck Rogers bar gauge. Pretty nice. I love the 40 and 41 they have grown on me and now I covet one.

Went for $3450 and thats a darn fine deal for a car like this. I wish I had bid on this now as the 40 coupes are rare birds. Too darn busy right now to go after these things.

No excuses. When you see a car you want, just say YES! I told you before, it's OK, I'll clear it with your wife.

I know, I know, I screwed up on this one could have put one of my 308's in this and had a screaming 40 sleeper....and would still be Hudson all the way as some of the dealers offered to put the crate 308's in older Hudsons....

See, that's what happens when you don't listen to the little devil,on your shoulder. How about the 308 in that little Essex.
