For a long time the 32s, As, 33/34s, 36s and 39 deluxe/40s were the mainstay of rodding. (Plus the Ts). The others were the forgotten models that were overlooked. The street rod era started the trend towards the 37s. Suddenly what was overlooked was suddenly on trend. Then when there was an upsurge in the old ford interest, what was left, and affordable? the 38s, in both flavours and the 39 standards. Overlooked for so long the survival rate is not as good as the more popular models. The 38dlx/39std take a bit of getting used to. That leaves the 38 standard. It's a nice design and is pretty rare, due to the overwhelming popularity of other models. Still mech brakes so if you had a choice between 38 and 39/40 you'd go for the 39/40.

For me the 38 std is a nice looking car. the 37s, the 38dlx/39std coming up behind in the looks department.
