1941 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I know that Dave Cole kept track of all '40 Continental Cabriolets - Don't know if he has this one as a survivor. From what I can see it is body #58 VERY ROUGH https://wisconsin.hibid.com/catalog/111235/car-collection-of-jack-slattery-saturday--nov--4---10am/?q=513 Mike Lynch Edited October 21, 2017 by 1941 correction (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1941 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Okay - yes the grille is '41 and dash is ?? steering wheel and door handles are 1940 but no top fender lites that would be on a 41 AND what is a "cargo KING" ?

Mssr. Bwatoe Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I expect the large word, cabriolet or continental kit was lost in the translation --Thanks for posting..I hope it gets saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Looks like a 1954 or 1955 Ford engine with the teapot carburetor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry butcher Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 This could be a real 1940 LC cabriolet, one of 350 made. The grilles are an easy swap out to '41 LC. One of the pull out controls could be overdrive( installed with that overhead valve engine). "Cargo- King" can be detected on the valve covers. Perhaps a truck engine, looks like the rare center stoplight is missing. The real check is reading the vin # on the frame. This car is not that bad, you should see what the '48 LC Coupe that I'am working on looked like after I towed it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1941 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 It definitely is a REAL 1940 Continental Cabriolet. The body number plate is still there on the firewall, 06H-56-58. If you do a search on Cargo-King , it is a 1955 Heavy-duty Ford Truck engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 My concern would be the lack of a title. States are really cracking down on this, and I'd hate to buy it only to find it went "missing" in 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
