My father bought the duplicate of this car brand new in Blue Earth, MN. It cost between $700 and $800. It served him until, being trained at Camp Claiborne, LA in Dec. 1941, the Pearl Harbor attack put him in the army until his evacuation from Italy in mid 1944. My mother (fiancée at the time) used it in his absence. Still had it until late 1945 when my older brother was born. It went to my grandparents and was repowered by a Mercury crate motor given to my grandfather by the owner of Downtown Chevrolet where he worked. It sat at grandparents home North of Brainerd MN in the mid fifties (no longer running or fixable). Guess it was sold off. That tiny light on dash above the speedometer was the high beam indicator. My grandad would tease us by pointing and saying "on" and hitting the dimmer switch.

😍👌 one of the best body styles ever. IMO. ❤️

Beautiful as is preserve it. Best to go North, Arizona is kind of hot to be running a Flathead.
