Clean, very original car.  The history can be traced back to when James Brown owned the car.  I've owned the car for about 10 years.  It runs well and sounds great.  The numbers on the frame and engine both match the title.    
  The body is solid and straight.  There's a BB-sized ding on the front right fender, but it's otherwise straight.  The only rust is in the trunk spare tire well and the inner fender panel under the battery tray.  It cleans up well for 80+ years, and if it's been painted it was a partial respray a long time ago and it was done in lacquer.
  The interior is original and is in good condition considering the age.  I cleaned up the interior and left it alone.  The front seat has one separated part along the upper back passenger edge and is otherwise in good condition with no rips or tears.    
  This is an early production car for 1940.    
  The speedometer and the interior lights don't work.       
  Until I bought it, the car remained in the Augusta, Georgia and North Augusta, South Carolina area since Mr. Brown owned it.  It's still in South Carolina.  
  I researched the oil change sticker that's on the driver side door jam, which is in the images.  Ben Froelich was the big Ford dealer in Los Angeles, and the sticker is from 1959 as per the phone prefix for LA.  There's a great story to it but nothing is certain.      
  The pictures tell the story.  If you enlarge the pictures, you can see the age and condition of the car more closely.  The pictures of the car when it was under a carport is when I bought the car out of Graniteville, SC. 
Don't bid if you don't intend to follow through-it's ok to watch.  If you don't have great feedback with plenty of priors you should contact me or your bid will be cancelled. 
  $500 deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction.  Cash, cashier's check, or money order for the balance within 7 days of the end of bidding.  The car stays with me until the payment clears.  I can help with loading, but the buyer is responsible for shipping-pick up within than 30 days unless we've agreed prior.  
  The biding can end if the car sells locally but if it goes above the reserve, I won't stop the bidding.  
Message me with any questions or if you'd like more information.
