O.K. We have established that we all have a soft spot for’40 Fords. My next question is coupe, or sedan? When I first started building as a kid, these kits were brand new. Everybody I knew, that built model cars, was building them. Ninety percent of them were building coupes. I just always liked the old hunchbacked sedan better. If fact a few years ago I was at the NNL in Santa Clara and found an old first edition black plastic sedan kit in the built section of one of the vendors there. I passed it up four times because even though it was in the original box and had the instructions, and the trading card, with it, it also had about three heavy coats of brush paint slathered all over it. But, I saw another old guy stop, and look it over for the second time, and had to have it.
I don’t know why, but I never tire of innovating, and renovating, ‘40 Fords.
