Flathead Fever
Well-known member
I had to show you guys this. It showed up for sale on Craigslist here in CA. The add description is below. It would be neat to see how they converted it to front wheel drive. I'm trying to decide what gear ratio you would use on something like this and what its top speed would be? I worked for the phone company for 30-year's. I almost bought it just because of the grille. It would make a great motorhome if you didn't care how long it took to get places.
1941 Ford Bus, Marmon Herrington front wheel drive, 18inch tires, flathead engine, areo dynamic body, the grill is in the shape of a Bell, There were supposed to two of these made for the Maw Bell telephone co. we have heard this is the only one left. It was used for field work, Ran when parked over 25 years ago, It has lots of rust, but would be very cool restored. approx 25 ft. long and 6ft 8in wide, 8 ft high.
