For sale at Gateway Classic Cars in our Chicago showroom is a 1940 Ford Standard Coupe.  This is a very cool hot rod!  Power comes from a well built 1953 Mercury V8 Flathead that has been fitted with a 3/4 race Comp Cams camshaft, a decked set of cylinder heads for more compression, Brassworks radiator and a 12 volt electrical system.  This car makes such a great sound!  There's nothing like a well built high performance Flathead.  Power is sent through a 3 speed manual mounted on the column.  Both the engine and transmission have roughly 1,000 miles since the rebuild and offer issue free enjoyment.  The engine was professionally built at Flatland Flatheads out of Oklahoma City.  These guys know their stuff.  This car will turn heads with the sound alone.  Painted in an inconspicuous Clay with a tan interior and a set of period correct hubcaps.  The front end has dropped front axle that offers a lowered ride height by a smidge and is fitted with confident inspiring front disc brakes.  Adding to the great ride is a set of radial tires and some comfy leather seats.  Inside you will also notice the restored gauges that have also been rewired for the 12 volt system.  Surrounding the gauges is a beautiful machined turn gauge surround.  Completing the 12 volt upgrade is an alternator in place of the old generator.  There's no more worry about the car starting, the 12 volt system is a significant improvement over the old 6 volt system.
