I’m not an early Ford guy in the grand scheme of things, but I know enough to be dangerous. With that said, I’ve always had trouble telling the difference between 1939 and 1940 Fords because they look virtually the same. I know there are differences, but when you see the two of them at a Goodguys show or something, where they have been customized at least a little bit, you never know if parts are stock or custom or have been swapped between years. In this video, Matt and Mike from IronTrap Garage give us the full rundown on what is the same and what is not as they park a ’39 right next to a ’40 and discuss all the features.
Check it out and let us know what you think. I think I’m going to learn some stuff!
Video Description:
Since we purchased the 1940 Mercury Coupe at Hershey Fall Swap meet, we thought about parking our 1939 Mercury next to it and comparing them. Matt and Mike take a first look with all of you to see what is different between the two. Both years use the same body, but there is a lot of things that are totally different!
