Default Re: Can someone school me on the differences between the 39-40 models?

Did a 39 Standard about 20 years ago when the "smoothie" look was the rage. A quite elderly gentleman came by while I was working on it and was needing some "Candy Cane" trim pieces that go on the hood side panels; said he couldn't find them anywhere. Every bit of the trim I'd removed was mint so when I told him he could have it all he was moved almost to tears. He had pulled out his check book before the offer and said to fill in any amount I considered fair so I knew he wasn't a something for nothing type. Felt good to know it was going to a faithful restoration. Also had a 40 Woody wagon that DID have a wood grained dash and a 51 Woody that Ford used the 50 dash so it could be wood grained. The digital dash that, Steve, at Dakota Digital designed for the 49/50 was patterned off of the mint cluster this wagon had.
