1941 Ford 5 Window Coupe 5Win Coupe Description

There are just certain body styles that seem to be timeless, o matter how they're built. Most of them are Fords, rom the '32 roadsters, o the '34 3-window coupes, o cars like this steel body 1941 Ford coupe. Built several years ago, he great Ford shape just never goes out of style, nd when you build a rod, t's almost impossible to go wrong when you start with one of these.Although there are now companies building fiberglass bodies with chopped tops and laid back windshields, his one remains pretty much as they designed it back in 1941. OK, ure, hey had a lot more chrome and trim on the cars back then, ut the details are pure pre-war art-deco cool. The headlights were frenched, he nose was shaved, nd the trunk lid was smoothed and treated to a recessed license plate frame, ut you can still spot this one from a mile away and still know what it is. Workmanship is very good, nd the panels line up well, rom the big pointed hood to the doors, o that clamshell trunk lid, hich can be notoriously difficult to fit. There was undoubtedly a lot of time invested in block sanding the panels before any of the custom mixed Strawberry metallic paint was sprayed, nd the end result is a straight, lean coupe that arguably looks better in person that it does in photos. It's finished off with some traditional pinstripe work that's just enough to add an accent without becoming the focal point of the whole car, hich isn't always easy to do.The nicely stitched interior provides first-class accommodations for two. The twin bucket seats have been covered in gray leather upscale look, nd there's a custom center console between them, hich is functional as well as comfortable. Door panels have been stitched to match, nd a new headliner was created overhead, iving the inside of this coupe a bright, iry feel. The original steel dash has been retained and painted to match the body, nd the wide band of trim also features Dakota Digital gauges that come to life when you turn the key. The tilt steering column features a modern wheel, nd you've undoubtedly already noticed that this car carries power windows and A/C, hich make it a fantastic highway cruiser. An AM/FM/CD stereo offers speakers throughout the cabin, nd even seat belts have been added front and rear to make it safe. In back, he trunk has been upholstered to match, nd will hold a weeks' worth of luggage, aking this exactly the kind of rod you'll want to drive cross-country.You won't have any worries on a journey like that either, hanks to a respected 5.0 liter EFI engine from a Mustang, powerplant that's legendary for its reliability and power. These engines have already proven themselves to be strong, asy to service, nd if you want upgrades, hey're just a phone call away. The radiator is a massive brass and copper assembly with a fan shroud that will keep this warmed-over small block cool on the hottest days. Shorty headers feed a true dual exhaust system that sounds potent, ut not overpowering on the road. Underneath, here's a color-matched frame featuring a Mustang II style front suspension, ront disc brakes, nd a rack-and-pinion steering system. An AOD 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission handles the gear changes, nd feeds a rugged color-matched 9-inch rear hanging on a set of leaf springs.
