It fits within the 1941 model year in accordance with the Van Pelt's list. The car is an October 1939 built Deluxe Coupe, one family owned for over 75 years and restored by them within the last 10 years. Thanks everyone.

I am not able to send direct Emails or post photos as I do not have sufficient posts. So I thank everyone for their input, as I cannot add photos as requested. It is definitely a different # to the chassis # and is certainly stamped into the block!!!

The number is totally different to the Chassis#.

It is stamped on the back of the block, on the flat surface, under the fuel pump.

I have been playing around with early Fords for 60 years and have always understood that Ford didn't stamp engine number on the engine block. I recently bought a restored 40 Deluxe Coupe from Calif. During the registration process it was discovered there was an engine # stamped to the top back...

Thanks for your help. I think I am on top of it now. Cheers

I do not want to cut the body for the antenna. Is there another way? Thanks

I have had an original Zenith radio rebuilt and updated. What do I need to install in my 40 Coupe. Any help/ advice would be most appreciated. Plan on using an under the running board antenna. THANKS
