1941 Ford - Emerald illusion

1941 Ford Hot Rod Coupe; affectionately known as “Emerald Illusion.” This So Cal Hot Rod, built by Bob’s Customs & Rods in Upland, California, is a serious show stopper with its custom paint, removable Carson Top, serious amounts of chrome and 350ci V8! This is a top quality show car and has been featured in lots of magazines, was custom built over a TEN year period with 1,000s of professional man hours and it shows!
This badass custom started its life as a 1941 Ford Coupe and was then professionally converted into a convertible with a Carson Top by Bob’s Customs and Rods in Southern California. The exterior is a steel body that sits upon a completely boxed frame and the color is a drop dead gorgeous Emerald Green with subtle lighter green pinstriping that looks like it was done yesterday. The pinstriping adds a little personality to this hot rod. It has a lift off, white Carson Top, which is in excellent condition and looks absolutely stunning! It has lots of chrome that looks spectacular with a brilliant shine and skirts. This is truly a show stopper and is sure to draw attention anywhere you may take it!
The high quality, white interior with metallic green piping bucket seats are custom tailored for this vehicle and the gauges are VDO. The white and green motif continues throughout the interior and looks beautiful! The modern interior compliments the updated yet retro exterior. There is also an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player, as well as Vintage Air air conditioning and power windows. There are two sets of remote key fobs as well as a complete list of instructions as to how to use all the fancy bells and whistles on the car! Poppers on each door and automatic lift for the trunk are included.

Under the hood of this hot rod is a 350 cubic inch V8 with three carburetors or “three deuces.” The engine is dressed up nicely in lots of chrome and accented with green LED lights that illuminate beautiful off the reflective chrome. Mated to the engine is a TH350 automatic transmission shifted through the floor. It is equipped with rack and pinion power steering and power four wheel disc brakes.
The car sits upon Air Ride suspension and lays the frame to the ground when the bags are emptied. All four corners are bagged and the tank, compressor and all gauges are hidden away in the trunk. It has a true, So Cal lowrider stance! The 15” chrome wheels are wrapped in 165R15 white wall tires that really pull together the entire look of this custom hot rod.
