Hopefully, this isn't too much of a hot rod for the Ford Barn.....if so, I apologize in advance.

We picked up this V8-60 powered '40 standard tudor from Dick Spadaro late last year. The car is completely original, except for a repaint on the fenders sometime in the '70s. The odometer showed shy of 53,000 miles, probably due to the V8-60 and 4.44 R&P combination. The cool part about it was that the car was owned by the same family from new, until 2007. It was purchased from Wharton Motors in Lebanon, OH.

Here are some pictures from how it arrived from Dick:
