I have been doing other things, but today I went back to the Ford and installed the Robe Cord, Ash Tray, and Assist Straps. Also, I always wondered how close the wood-graining on the window garnish moldings of my 1940 Fordor Deluxe were-I had nothing to compare them to. Last week, a friend gave me an original 1940 Ford Deluxe Ashtray with most of the original woodgraining in tact. I think Bob Kennedy, (who did the woodgraining) did an excellent job!

The Robe Cord and Assist Straps for my 1940 Ford Fordor Deluxe just arrived from Cartouche! They look very good go me. They put new fabric loops (to match my Windlace) on my original, repainted Brackets. I hope to install them later in the week after the rain stops.

I will be happy to speak with anyone about the car. Bear in mind that I am an amateur on this sort of thing, though. I have owned it since May of 1975 when it was fairly messed up (battleship gray paint-glossy on one side, flat on the other, instrument panel painted black-apparently with a broom, and in very tired but drivable condition).

Hey Shannon--- Both I, and other members, have followed and contributed to this lengthy (and interesting) thread. Do you think compiling it all, and obtaining some more history of the car, would make for an interesting V8 Times article? Tom

Your story has been a great read and you have put another nice old '40 Ford back on the road. I'm sure you have encouraged others to do the same.
