Default Got a plaque at a car show

I got a plaque, voted top 30 car out of about 200 cars. I had my December 7th Pearl Harbor theme going on. First time I ever won anything.

Nice looking. Nice trophy. What's the radio? Is it also a 41?

Admiral radio, found an Oct. 1945 date stamped under the faceplate.
I placed a little amplifier with a memory card that plays 1941 music and news inside.

corvette8n, Congratulations. It's a real validation of the cool-ness of your car and a fun moment of recognition.

Use this opportunity to drop a butt-ton of pics please?

Congratulations! It feels good when other people appreciate your ride as much as you do. Especially when it's a 1941 Coupe.

Bring your '41 to an Early Ford V8 Club national meet. Get a club award.

Let's hear more about that Pearl Harbor theme. For people other than car geeks, presentation and context is everything. A nice 1941 Ford means nothing to most people compared to a car that is presented as a car owned by a family when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Mother had a '41 coupe with the bucket seats. Learned to drive in it. Eventualy we both wrecked it in the same B pillar. Sad. Loved that car. I put th 8 channel radio in the car witih the floor button to change frequencies

Here’s what I put inside the car plus a picture of the front plate.
