1939 Ford cabriolet kustom leadsled - O' Neill
1939 ford cabriolet full kustom..... this car is history on wheels it is an original 1950s kustom , not a new build made to look like the customs of the good old days , it is the real deal. it has a documented history going back 50 plus years as a kustom , it has been in numerous magazines through out its life ...rod and custom, rodders journal twice, on the cover of speed and chrome, car culture deluxe, and was even in gone in 60 seconds with Nicholas cage.....yes it has a cool history that cannot be built, nothing but time can make a history like this one has.

now the details...it started life as a 1939 ford cabriolet with a rumble seat which it still has some time post world war two its life as a kustom began when it was chopped and channeled and left abandoned, til dave kinnaman found the car and resurrected it and brought it back to life , like I stated earlier it has been chopped and channeled , headlights are frenched very nicely and between those is and ultra rare Packard grill supplied by none other than gene Winfield, the hood has been sectioned to fit the channel job and the door handles were removed and now it has door poppers the rear end of this car is the most amazing piece of art deco styling ever conceived for a car...yes it has real Lincoln zephyr rear fenders actually two sets carefully grafted together to make one left fender and one right.

the rear bumper is a real original ripple bumper that has a 49 Chevrolet bumper guard modified to fit, all this basks in the glow of real glass 1941 studebaker tail lights. the engine is a small block chevy 350 with a turbo 350 transmission that all works and shifts nice ram horn exhaust rumbles nicely through a set of smittys! and the valve covers are vintage offenhauser covers all topped off with a chromed Cadillac air cleaner just for that extra bit of class.

the interior is a very traditional roll and pleat job covering a set of 1958 jaguars seats which are very comfortable for those long nights of cruising around as is the stereo cd player which is mounted in the glove box nicely tucked out of sight to keep the feel of 1955 going.

the dash has the gauges that were in it when I got it, all are vintage stewart warners and all are in working order, I re wired this car myself using a painless wiring kit, and not one wire is noticeable except for a couple under the hood, I hid all of them that I was able to and the rest are installed nice and orderly using the original style cloth wire loom , just so if by chance you do see a wire , one might think it is oem ford.

I also forgot to mention that this car was also featured in a book old school customs as well which features other historic customizers as well, gene Winfield, bo huff, bill hines and Darryl starbird and several other legends.
