Ummmmmm, I hate to bring it up, Capt'n, but the only dust-eatin' Fords from '32 on were the ones with the little old lady behind the wheel who had no interest in dustin' off Chevy's... I had a '49 with that same stock flathead V-8 with overdrive and there wasn't 6 cly. Chevy around that could touch it at any speed... Not in a quarter mile, not in a hundred miles and not to the moon...

Fords ruled...

Now don't get me wrong, I liked alot of them Chevys, especially the late 40's Chevys and kinda have my eye on a certain '47 Chevy right now if I get somethin' sold but I ain't lookin' at fir nuthin' other than it looks one heck of alot better than any of the pre-49 Fords for a decent bluesmobile...
