1941 Ford...underappreciated?

[legend]

Here's mine I really like the looks of the 41's





Just got it this past summer drove the hell out of it now it's getting some work done to it - want to have it on the road by spring.

The '41 has not been underappreciated in our family. My Grandpa bought it new and passed it down to my Mom, who has passed it on to me!

Seems like most folks tend to make Customs out of them, so I built a Hot Rod;

This car is so sweet. I fell in love with 41 ford coupes when I was 15 years old and always wanted one. I got a 41 sedan about ten years ago and i will probably always have it...............but i still long to have one of those sweet looking coupes.....I may have to start looking again! P.S. I'm 59 years young so I still have plenty of time!!!!!

Thanks Ratrod Stevie. I'm 66 now, I was 48 when I bought the coupe to build

With all these pics and talk the price of a 41 is about to go up. They were THE car to customize at one time. Love 'em

Heres the "start" of mine....

Nice job!Looks killer!

My dad had a black `41 Business Coupe just before he joined the Navy around `50- `51. Said it was his favorite car as a kid. Hauled ass all over the Adirondak mountains where he lived with it. Had to get rid of it when he left. I had to have one just like it and finally I got one. Here's mine......

I built this in around 1992. Not too HAMB friendly today.....tweed interior, graphics etc.. but a good car nonetheless

Always loved the '41 and after 17 years of work I think I may have changed a couple of peoples minds about the original look? 351 W, Top loader 4spd, 9in, VintageAir, Mustang II, Americans

It wasn't SOY, it was HEMP.
Hemp was also what made Levi's legendary.

The stuff doesn't bust!!!

WOW, phat rat, that car is BITCHIN. I think I'll sell my 40 and look for a 41. Well........maybe not......

Here's my friend ErnieM's 41 that inspired this thread.

[19Fordy]

I never liked them until I owned one.
