I have to get away from politics if even for a little while. What's happened has disgusted me to no end and my blood pressure can't take it.

To that end, let's post pics of the coolest looking cars of the 40's, any nation, and see what happens.

I’m building a 1940 Plymouth
pickup. Basically just using
the sheetmetal over a custom
tube chassis. 446 cu in Mopar,
727 with 2500 stall converter,
4-link rear. Just started the
wiring and gauges. I can’t
wait to hear this thing run.
Wish I could post some pics.
I’ve been working on it for
for 23 years.

Yup! He traded it in for a 1985 black Firebird. It looked like Kit. Kinda missed the Orange Peel though.

Don’t forget the Packard. You could conceive and raise a family of five in the backseat.

My brother has pre WWII Packards.
4 finished cars, one project underway and a couple of parts cars.
His ‘touring limo’ is 21.5 feet long.
He never drives them...only works on them.
Too $rich$ for my blood...

In the town I was born and raised in, the mob used to drive cars like that.

It didn’t end well.

Google “youngstown tune-up”
