    It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many hoards like this out there. Its sad because it seems so much of it will just get tossed.

    Never ceases to amaze that, even after 85 years, vehicles like this still exist. In need of some tlc, sure, but still - at any point over the last century almost it could have been lost but somehow there it is, still waiting patiently for its turn on the rotisserie.

    I was just out of multiple deployments in Iraq and Afg, driving down the Interstate, when a truck next to me blew a tire, and i jumped just like yall did when inflating the convertible. Scared the heck outta me. Gave me a good laugh today when i saw yall jump. Been there, lol! Nice job saving the car.

    In the late 90's when I worked at a New Holland dealer we had a customer that had one of those 39 convertibles. I had no idea they existed until I saw his in front of what was left of his shop. Unfortunately he had a fire and the car was a total loss.

    Little farther south down in Minnesota here, 3038 Ford coupe on Craigslist. Up to about 15 years ago, the old boy used to start it once a year. The car look like it was about 20 years old, not 🚫 80 years old. It was no brainer to buy but I didn't.

    As rare as that 39 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan is, it's one that deserves to be restored to original instead of getting hot rodded.

    Seeing how many good cars were stored and left to rot on this property hurts me a lot. Seeing a Cadillac Sedanette with partly open windows, I can imagine how the critters destroyed everything. Tons of tools and parts left in a messy heap inside the shed is not a nice thing to see. I hope this very cool Convertible will be resurrected. It is a huge challenge finding all the usable parts that were inside this disgusting pile of garbage. I bet some parts got lost in the cleaning process. At least you really tried finding all usable things.
