When we were kids, my Brother-In-Law (best friend married my sister) and I would cut school (Walt Whitman HS) in my '48 TuDor or his '51 F-1 and drive "out east" from Huntington in search of old Flathead Fords, we had several that we had a lot of fun with. Those were the days... :)
 
yes Oldskool a nice car, it nice to start with a good solid car like that, it makes life so much easyer, price is good to, Harold, Ca.
 
funny thing i was looking for a 40 ford because a had one but sold it,i seen this 41 and after looking it over with my good friend who happens to be the best body man i ever seen,i decided i had to have it,i was shocked that i got it so cheap 4,500 is a bargin,i was not looking for a show car just a every day driver,im very happy anbd looking foward to getting it safe,reliable,and keeping it flathead powered..regards al
