1939 Red Vogt prepared Ford

[MarkJ]

Finished this a few days ago but could not do the pictures due to other commitments. Took 86.5 hours to complete.
hood and grille are from a 38 Ford the the rest of the car is a 39.

Here is the only reference picture I had to go by so a lot of it was guessing on colors and what the covered up partial words were. But I did do some research and they could be feasible.

 

 

This was the drivers service station.

 

 

And this was his teammates car. Only the rear fenders were a color other than black on this one but seem to match the rear fender color of the 21 car.. The trunk, roof and hood were black on the 14. I think the driver wanted to match the color of the Amoco logo which was red and black back in 1940.
