"When I was a kid before I could drive I knew what most old Fords were by building AMT model kits.The '37 Ford coupe was never popular enough back in those days to have a model kit produced like the '32.'36 and the '40."

True dat for me, too. I had them all, including the Model T and the Model A's. I'd love to know the inspiration for those model kits and the ones they chose. Maybe the detailing was not all that great (I recall you could build a 39 or 40 with that kit), but those kits were influences on many of us, I am sure.

I never liked the 37s much back then, but I do like them now. Skidmarks, I like your car. I grew up just across the state line from you in MD.
