1940 Ford Coupe Hot Rod Body
This is too cool. News from Ford: One of the most cherished and collected classic cars of the pre-World War II and hot rod era – the iconic 1940 Ford Coupe – is the latest addition to Ford Motor Company’s growing stable of officially licensed all-steel reproduction car bodies.
That’s right! It is now available to order. Like the ’65-’70 Mustang bodies now available, the 1940 Ford Coupe body is made of modern, high-strength steel and is assembled using modern welding techniques. It comes rustproofed from the factory, and it is ready to be assembled as a custom hot rod or you can build it as a faithful tribute to the original model.
At the upcoming Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Ford will be displaying a custom 1940 Ford hot rod built using a reproduction body and a new bare body shell to demonstrate the high-quality of construction.
