Here's a cool hot rod that mixes rarity and originality with some great upgrades. This 1941 Ford 5 Window Super Deluxe Business Coupe is a true head-turner at any car show, nd with great driveability, ou will want to cruise all day long.This well-preserved coupe is a nice cross between an original car and a street rod. Sometimes custom work goes too far and takes away a car's soul, ut not this one. Just take a look at the front end. The brightwork has been polished to an exceptional shine, nd the bumper has been replaced with chrome forks. But beyond this, ou can still see the large fender design that makes this a true classic. The long trunk of the business coupe gives this car a cool profile, nd more importantly, akes this rare Ford even more exceptional. The deluxe red wheels have been fitted with smaller original-style Ford V8 hubcaps to give it a true hot rod look. But you can really tell this is a detail-oriented car by the tires. Whitewalls always look great on these 1940s machines, ut this one goes the extra mile by having ones with the Ford Motor Company script in the sidewall just like this coupe had when it left the factory nearly 75 years ago.Inside is a tasteful mix of old and new. The split bench looks great with an original-style cloth insert. Business coupes were a moonshiner favorite because the trunk was so large that it even intruded into the interior. So instead of a back seat, here is a nicely appointed parcel shelf behind the driver. This coupe has some cool modern touches such as the AM/FM/CD stereo and auxiliary gauges for the temperature, attery, nd oil. Still, uring its restoration, pecial attention was paid to keeping the interior original. This is seen on everything from the heater under the dash to the hints of patina on the metal. There's even an original owner's manual for the glovebox.Under the hood is the blue oval's famous 239 cubic-inch flathead V8. Those who know Fords recognize that this motor was not available in these coupes until after WWII, nd that's what gives this one true personality. This black beauty is a tribute to the 1950s custom cars one of the best times in the vintage car world. You can call it a hot rod upgrade or a moonshiner special, ut any post-WWII youngster trying to gain a reputation or earn a few extra bucks would have taken the larger motor available and then added some serious performance. In this case, he V8 was rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago and now has Offenhauser heads, n Edelbrock intake, eaders, nd dual exhaust. It's mated to a 'three on the tree' manual transmission for a bit of fun, nd true hot rod performance. 1941 is always an interesting year to own. It was the last full production year before WWII, nd so even in your driveway, t's fun to walk around this '41 and have an American history lesson with your car buddies. Of course, e also wouldn't stop anyone from making a few liquor runs in this great-priced moonshiner. Find another as well sorted as this, e dare you...call today!!
