this is the tiny Model Y of England, 1932. Later a similar version was built in Cologne, Germany as well. named the Ford Eifel.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Joe, do you have any information abut the young couple in the Fairlane ?

Nothing other than it was supposedly taken in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn New York. An almost entirely middle and working class Jewish community, with a sprinkling of Italians, Irish, and Greeks.

The one that got away; I was watching this '41 Ford (a local car) for several months and the price dropped to 29+K and was still too rich for my blood, fast forward a few weeks and the price dropped to 18K or best offer. After a heated conversation with my wife who happens to adore 40-41 Fords, I called and left a message....the return call said he had just sold it for apptox. $15K because it was sitting outside and he needed the room in his garage to add to his collection!

Bummer! Always liked '41 coupes. I missed out on one in the late 1960s. It had about a 30 gallon 2nd tank. Made me wonder if it had been a bootlegger's car from down south.

37,38 and 41 Fords used to be the un-loved years(not by me....) but in general.
I think a 41 Ford Custom with subtle changes are classical and beautiful.

I second that Jeff. all three of said years can be pretty and interesting cars. lets not forget the famous 1941 bumpers ( for custom application) , and in my opinion the most beautiful of the 40-48 dogdish hubcaps on the DLX. they are stainless to begin with and they carry the gorgeous og. style Ford script in blue paint. what do we want more ? :003: I had these hubcaps on my first  Model A Hotrod Pickup and actually now have them on my German 1964 Ford van.

not sure if Jay and me will pass the valve covers on the coupe, but the guy trapped under his 34 Phaeton sure is funny. I have been working on a friends 34 Phaeton for years now. the pic reminds me of how we can get trapped in/under a project..... :003:
