    My grandfather had a 4 door hard top special deluxe. My grandmother is having it fixed as a late college graduation gift, looking forward to it.

    Wow, wow, wow. The trunk and interior are delicious. This fellow has some really excellent taste and maybe Chevrolet also deserves some credit too. But all I can say is “I want one”. This car is jewelry for men as far as I’m concerned. I never saw the attraction in rings, necklaces etc. because they had no other function, but this is better than jewelry inside and out. Beautiful gauges too. So much nicer than rectangular designs like were in many of the cars to come later.

    Ted is a very knowledgeable Chevy guy. I think he is a fan of everything Chevy except a 216 6 cylinder engine. Beautiful car.

    This is a nicely-done beauty of a street rod. Why can't people be happy for him instead of bashing his Chevy?

    Great colour choices! Sometimes there are colours that add so much to a car and this is one of those cases. I guess what I mean is once you see the car in those colours, you’re hooked, but if I was going through colour samples, I can’t imagine going “those colours are going to look awesome”.

    Thanks Lou, what an amazing car. The color combination is fantastic. Does the clear top part of "The Flying Lady" light up? That dash is beautiful. I really like the "Fuel Injection" script letters on the fire wall. Like on the 57 Chevrolets and Corvettes. The painted wheels, with trim rings and period hub caps are a great touch. Mr. Fuchs really did a good job on marrying the 1940 body to a modern chassis and running gear.

      Hi Randall Frank, All high praise :-) Not sure about the light up Flying Lady. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

      Lou Costabile, also, can you check my latest videos? It has a Dodge Challenger, an AMC Gremlin and a Camaro.
      Thank you, and unexpectedly, I might recieve a comment from you.
      Your choice, John

    • @loucostabile
      @loucostabile  7 лет назад +1

      If that Gremlin gets some paint and 1 new tire and it might qualify for a "My Car Story".

    I have a 1941 special deluxe coupe. Not as rare as the convertible. Nice car! The hood ornament Flying Lady appears to be the same as 1941. Everything else seems to be unique to 40 as the owner says.

      @loucostabile  7 лет назад

      Hi tony butcher, Glad you love the car :-) Ted's getting a "clear bra" soon, so you'll see all that wonderful front end, Lou

    • @chevydog6585
      @chevydog6585 7 лет назад

      The 'chapps' are actually an easily removed vinyl 'bra' as they are called. Very efficient paint protection on a carthat is driven a lot. With a car of this quality, fenders are removed to repaint the many rock chips that occur. A clearbra has been installed since the video to make it a bit easier on the eyes. Thanks,
