Vehicle Story
Subtle sophistication best describes this 1939 Ford Convertible built by Steve’s Auto Restorations. It is said that less is more, but to achieve “less” and have it look “right”, often times more is involved. In this case the entire rear portion of this convertible has been reshaped to convert it from a rumble seat to a trunk model. Other body modifications include tucked front and rear bumpers, Lincoln taillights and a handsome 1½” chop. The whole package sits atop a modified stock chassis rolling on custom chrome plated 16” Mopar artillery style wheels. Don’t be fooled though, this elegantly dressed Ford is still all “hot rod” under the hood with a blown and injected 284ci flathead to keep things just a little bit rowdy.
