Not so long ago I mentioned a possible Dual Quad Caddy in a 40 Mercury Convertible project.

This is exactly what I had in mind. '57 365" in a 40 DeLuxe Coupe adapted to the original powertrain.

The guy in the red shirt on the right is the owner.

That is friggin BEAUTIFUL!

That is one clean, sharp car. As nice as it is, I would guess its been in the family for a long time.

Ford with Cadillac engines were a favored combination for a lot of guys...OHV, extra 100+ cubic inches? Whats not to like!

Those 40 Fords were one of the 1st Hot rods I liked. Weren't the 39 and 40 real close to the same?

A 39 DeLuxe is almost identical to a 40 Standard.

It was a pattern for a few years, the previous year's DeLuxe became the following year's Standard.

Starting 1941 the Standard and DeLuxe were only trim levels.

Beautiful car!

Absotively beautiful. Clean as a pin and the color reminds me of my old Falcon.

Moonshiner's special!
