That paint…it’s a mile deep, floats somewhere between copper and cinnamon, and in the early evening sun, is just about perfect. You could ask for better, but good luck finding it and expect to pay dearly for it. Carol Compton is the owner of this 1940 Ford, and is the car’s designer. Seriously…every detail on this Ford, from the modified running boards and trunk to the color itself, was decided completely by her, from tip to tail. It’s not a blisteringly fast hot rod, but for Carol, it doesn’t need to be. It is a driver, pure and simple, though we’d have a very hard time out in public with it. Is it a bit neurotic to want to dust a car you don’t even own via a YouTube video? We don’t think so, but watch as Mike from /drive takes Mrs. Compton’s Ford out for a nice cruise in the hills. Something tells us that he is on his best behavior…
