Well, the last of my flathead cars is now on the road! PO bought it in 1957 with a freeze cracked engine, I took it out of the garage in about 2005. He bought lots of NOS parts for it, never did anything but accumulate parts, 2 sets of NOS fenders, running boards, 2 gas tanks, pretty much everything you could buy at a Ford dealer in late 50s including a new in the crate 59 series engine. I have a 40 coupe album that shows progress. Engine has 4" crank, Ross pistons, metric rings, mild cam with lobes at 114 degrees, Holley 390, Columbia rear. Should be some good cruising this summer!

Good cruising? I should say so! You have gotten a lot of this together in the last two months since we stopped by. Dang it, what a beautiful car!
 
I love 32's and 36's But a 40 is just a doll. In high school a buddy had a 40 two door sedan with a Cadillac V8. I remember that the back seat was huge. Good memories
 
Thanks for the compliment Tom! It isn't perfect but as we say when we are working on our own car "It's good enough for who it's for"!
 
It looks beautiful. It's a credit to you. You "bought right" though, what a find. All those parts the PO had collected was a godsend.
