If you look close you can see the two holes on the front hood nose that originally fastened the V & 8 emblems that came on the '40 Standard and pickups. The headlight rims are off a 1940 Deluxe and the windshield division bar was removed, both common practices with customizers of these cars back then. The front bumper is not a Ford bumper, not sure what, but I know it's not a Ford-made unit.

bobskwatch ◊ 2011-03-31 12:26	This car is still around. I saw it at the GoodGuys Spring Show in Ft. Worth last weekend. It was recently restored and repainted (still red), and still looks bitchin' as hell. The timelessness of the mods some of those guys did back then is amazing. "Owned by Jack Thomas and was in the James Dean film "Rebel Without a Cause" as a cameo role. Was purchased on a car lot in LA in 1948 as an old Ma Bell car and chopped and sectioned by Larry Nichlen who in later life became the president of the American Ferrari Club. Street Rodder did a story.........The Life and Times of a Custom Car in May of 81." Link to "public.fotki.com"
