Yeah, I passed up a '55 bird for $2500 years ago, I'm still kicking myself.

As a bit of theft prevention I added a switch under the dash that wasn't visible easily to shut off the pump when I parked the car. The car would start and could be driven about 1-2 blocks before the fuel bowel went dry and the engine would stop and since it had started and run "it just died"...

+1 There was a reason for the large steering wheels back then p/s is almost a necessity with a smaller wheel.

It was a great car but I wasn't much for taking pictures back then, this is one of only two that I still have.

I guess I had it relatively easy on my old '55 Club Sedan, the only things that had to be replaced were the light bulbs. I had to get a dropping resistor for the radio but didn't have a/c or power windows or other things that might be alergic to 12 volts. Of course that was the car I put a 428...

And I missed the one of the engine.

Lets see if this works.

It seems that I can't respond to PMs since I don't yet have enough posts. The car is a coupe and I guess I will have to resize my pictures before uploading them.

A friend has a 1939 model street rod that he is wanting to sell. I know that most everyone here is all about stock stuff but I thought I'd put it on the forum for him to see if there was any interest. He still has some of the stock parts that were replaced as well. It's a beautiful car. Btw...

A friend of mine is in need of a trunk lock cylinder for a 1939 ford coupe, are the door lock cylinders the same as the trunk as I can find them or does anyone have a trunk cylinder?
