My Dad's 41 Chevy Coupe

[ChevyCoupe41]

Hi!

This is my Dad's '41 Chevy Coupe. It is came to Finland from Texas back in 1989 and now after several owners it is first time between license plates after it came Finland. Engine is 350 SBC with automatic transmission. Mostly stock but there is Edelbrock intake manifold and sheet metal headers. Front frame is from '76 Chevy Nova so there is disc brakes, power steering jne. Brake master cylinder is under the front floor. Rear axle is from that Nova and it is 10 bolt without differential lock. Wheels are American Racing and those are from late sixties. Interior have lots of modifications. Steering Column is from Cadillac and it have tilt and telescope controls. Steering wheel is made by my dad friend and there's only three or four other cars where is same steering wheel. Fornt and back seats are from Jaquar XJ6. Door panels are made by me and my dad and those are made from plywood and we painted to those checkered flag theme. Body has nice patina on it and biggest modifications what it have is that front bumper is removed, fuel flap is moved to drivers side and its also from Jaquar XJ6 and rear fenders are molded. It have also several small modifications but I'm just too lazy to list those.

Here's some pics.

Thanks for lookin and hope you enjoy the pics. If you have something to ask about car just ask and I try to answer to it.

From what my Dad has told me, his Dad had one back when those were fairly new! Also be happy it doesn't have the stock headlights and electrical. I was telling him about some of the people complaining about the "bad" headlights on the Chrysler 200's (they're actually really good once aimed higher than stock, far better than anything sealed beam I've owned prior), and he said he'd love to see and hear these people complain about it after driving Grampa's stock '41 Chevy, those were 6 volt electrical and used a replaceable bulb that was similar to untinted turn signal bulbs (like the 1157 bulbs)! Probably put out more light than a Lucas headlight, but only because it was likely more reliable.

Great old Chevy. Love those checkerboard door panels too.
