The Ford Barn

fortyonerag · 09-05-2016, 05:59 AM

G'Day all,

Just thought I'd introduce myself.

I recently came over from the dark side (sold my 54 Chevy h/t of these last 25 years) and have bought a 41 Ford Super Deluxe convertible.

I'm on a learning curve, so hope to prevail on the wise heads here.

Thanks in advance.

Nice intro and welcome aboard "fortyonerag"!! As Tony said, we all have the same sickness here (and that's a good thing), and we are ready and willing to help you as much as possible.
Another member here, Glenn Sanders, recently aquired a 41 convertible as well, so you two will both benefit from helpful information that's posted here.

Welcome into the barn. Your 1941 was a unique model that was half way between the earlier 1940 and the later 42 thru 48. There are plenty of 1941 lovers here that can help when needed. My Pop bought a 41 after he got back from European theatre service in 1945. We had plenty of old Chevy sixes too but the Ford V8 is a favorite.
