After car manufacturers started putting headlights in the fenders, I lost interest...

One of the nicest and classiest cars ,,The 41 In my opinion is the nicest out of the late 30 s and early 40's cars

Great thread! Dave...close, maybe Maroon.

My dad has had a '41 tudor sedan since I was 3, it's the car that introduced me to hot rodding and shows. We've taken it on tons of trips, as a kid and as recent as Hunnet this past fall. I'd love to have a chopped coupe someday!

BeatnikPirate · 02-19-2010, 01:47 PM

I'm shamelessly trying to keep this thread alive. There must be some more HAMB-friendly 41's out there. Here's a few customized 41s I found on the web.

Richard Head · 02-19-2010, 07:19 PM

I like 'em best with bumpers. Without, they kinda look like an amphibious car.

BeatnikPirate,
Have NO shame dear sir!
I will join you in keeping this thread in the HAMB's light!
I will try to post pics of my coupe.
Did I mention I love 1941 Fords? The opera & business coupes most of all, well I do love them.
Sincerely,
Cheatercarl

Lyrics from Eddie Cochrans song.. "Somethin' Else" I would like to think he immortalized the Gretsch guitar and the 41 ford.

I must be doing something right. I have a '41 Ford and a Gretsch guitar.

I like them as Customs, They don't need too much to make them cool (Chop, Spots, Skirts, and a nice stance). How many Matranga Clones are out there? A 41 Ford seems so rare these days. I love mine!

Fivewindow Johnnie · 02-19-2010, 10:17 PM

How 'bout THEE '41 Ford Coupe. Don't know who owns it, but it makes me want a Sled....and I'm a Hot Rod guy.................

Dave Flanders · 02-20-2010, 01:33 PM

Here's mine. When I was younger you couldn't have given me a sedan. Saw too many pictures of 40 coupes I guess. Now that I have this sedan I love it and a coupe almost looks to me like there's something missing.

J.Fishbeck · 02-20-2010, 01:46 PM

The Matranga Coupe, brought the 41's to my attention. 41's are highly sought after. I bought a 46 sedan & sold it, since it wasn't ever going to grow up to be a 41 coupe..

turdchazer · 02-20-2010, 07:22 PM

Here's my 41 (was Chris's) I'm almost ready to start a full on restoration her. The one w/ the mountain in the background was taken on the way to Billetproof

turdchazer · 02-20-2010, 07:33 PM

I love this pic.

**Pinstriper40** · 02-20-2010, 07:49 PM

Totally underappreciated...
but don't tell anyone else because then they'll all think that '41's are the new.. '40 mercs.

**Royalshifter** · 02-20-2010, 07:56 PM

Sssshhhhh!!!......mums the word..

41 Dave · 02-20-2010, 08:03 PM

Guys, Sure seems like there a lot of interest in the '41s. I appreciate the ones I have. Hope to get my chopped coupe running this year.

phat rat · 02-20-2010, 08:58 PM

They were usually thought of as the ugly step-child. After you've had one for quite a while, I've had mine for 18 yrs, it seems like they are all over.

firemangordy · 02-20-2010, 11:50 PM

My dad and I started working on this before he passed away 10 years ago. We bought it because it was just like his first car. Even the color. After he died I finished the mechanical stuff and left the rest alone.
