Guest BJM Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Browsing my usual sites tonight and see that Goldenrod Garage has a complete, original non streetrodded 39 Special 2 door sedan with factory sunroof FS, recently added as I hit this site once every other week. $5950. Rusty. How many did they make total in 1939, anyone know? Not a bad looking bodystyle either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BJM Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 How about looking under the Projects, Orphans, etc - that's where he put sthe projects as opposed to the nicer cars. Should be there, was last night. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42crazy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have been told that approx. 200 '39s' were built with the sunshine turret top, and built only on the Special 2 and 4 door models, and Century 4 door models. I have owned one Special 4 door, which supposedly is now being street rodded, and I currently own the only Century that I have ever heard of, along with a parts car that I bought about a year ago. Of the 200, supposedly about 25 were Centuries, but, I have never seen any proof of any of this. I have been working on my Century lately, just putting the finishing touches to it. Its a dual side mounted car, with streamboards, not running boards. The interior is original, just painted the exterior. I also would like to see the pic's of the 2 door.

Guest BJM Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Here is the webiste, once in, click on the Projects, etc. button and look under 30's and it should be there, unless someone has snapped it up already. I think $5950 is too high. They have a 41 Limited Formal sedan (low production number series 90) for sale for $1795, so why does he believe he should get four times that for a Special with a sunroof? Not too sure. www.goldenrod-garage.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveCorbin Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Dear 3Jakes: The answer to the high price is "rare". You will note 42crazy's response. However, I can add to it slightly. There is in existence a right hand drive 1939 Roadmaster sedan with a factory installed sunroof. I personally got to drive this car about 20 years ago in Great Britain. The car in England was built by McLaughlin in Canada and had Lendrum & Hartman (The English dealers) serial number plates.

Guest BJM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Dave,I agree regarding the rarity. But the 41 Limited Formal 6 passenger is as rare (total production not withstanding), it's a Limited with dual carbs, and it's described the same (rusty, needing everything). The sunroof Special is still just a Special. You can get a 39 Special convertible project for $6,000 he wants. I still like the car, especially because it's a 2 door model and with those rear fenders, it has great late 30's lines, but it's overpriced IMO. Did everyone get into the website to look at it?
