In 69 that car was 30 years old, not a bad effort is it, and it looks bloody tidy as well. Love the way he is transfering the weight inside, good stuff.

Hi Steve, Yeah they are good old clear photo's even when they are reduced in resolution.
He sold it in 1970 to buy Neil Stuart's Ford V8 Special from Norm Smith, which we still have.
The coupe went to Barry Fitzgerald of Invercargill who drove it on the road for a while with roll bar and megaphone exhaust!
I think he then sold the body to a guy in Australia in the early 70's.
3 years ago dad bought another '39 deluxe coupe and is presently restoring it along with a '38 deluxe coupe he has had in a shed since '67. The flatheads will use a few old speed parts he had collected over the years.

Thanks Bry, shes a pretty rough old nail. Its actually a mongrel. The chassis and front sheetmetal are all from a '38 Deluxe four door sedan my father bought in the late '70s and lost interest in. The body is '39 Deluxe. The body had actually been cut up back in the '60s and was to be used on a stockcar chassis for speedway racing, but for whatever reason the project stalled. The floors had been gas-axed out and the rear body lopped off. I bought the body about 5 years ago.

This picture is so sharp it looks like it could have been taken yesterday. Do you know what happened to your fathers '39 Deluxe?
