41 New Yorker Coupe
I was looking for a project car for a while.
At first I was looking at 39 Chevy coupes and 37 Fords.
I found there were so many of them and also that the prices for a rusty piece of junk were way out of line.
I had subscribed to Wheeler Dealer magazine out of Iowa I believe and I kept seeing this pic of a 1941 Chrysler for sale.
At first I thought it had a cool side view profile.
About 8 months goes by and I contact the seller and get some more pics.
One of them was this front view shot and I never called him back for a while after that.
I really didn't want the car then but I kept on thinking how cool it looked from the side.
As I was checking more 37 Fords, I realized I could just get some 37 Ford headlights as that's what I really loved about them and I could easily graft them on to the front of the car and it would look cool.
So I cut out a headlight and mocked up a couple of grill inserts to check things out.
This is where things started getting interesting.......

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
