And if you're looking for a near-perfect cruiser that puts a new shine on pre-war ambition, they simply don't get nicer! • Approaching this sleek beauty, it's difficult not to be taken with its killer profile. Josh Mills of Mills Co., the man who originally envisioned the car, wanted to build a period-perfect 'prototype' of something James Cagney might drive in a well-done Film Noir. To achieve that lofty goal, he needed a solid profile that could benefit from very specific metalwork. Josh's journey began with a trip to the 2005 Charlotte Auto Fair where he found two '35 3-window coupes advertised on a small bulletin board. Initially buying one of the coupes, Josh eventually ended up with both thanks to an anxious seller. Because he wanted to do a chop, Josh sold the first, unaltered car in favor of a botched roof job on the second car. The next three years would be spent sourcing era-correct parts. And, after thoroughly massaging the coupe's Henry Ford steel, he shipped it to Customs and Color in Woodstock, Georgia for some of the best black two-stage on the planet! • In keeping with hot rod tradition, this stellar Ford coupe is powered by a 284 cubic inch 59L flathead. Born in 1946, and machined and balanced by legend Putt Smith, the throaty mill growls with the help of a roster of vintage parts that includes an NOS Johnson valvetrain, NOS 81A rods and a Don Zig-prepped Harman Collins Magneto. Fuel and air enter through a polished Edelbrock intake and, aided by a Mercury crank, a Winfield SU-1A cam and NOS Johnson lifters, exit through polished Fenton headers. Aesthetically, the block, which perches elegant air cleaners and dual 94 carburetors above aluminum Edelbrock heads, has been painted a traditionally dark hue. And cool details like a chrome generator, a chrome fan and reproduction Ford hoses add enough shine to win the show. • Behind that engine, a '40 Ford 3-speed makes good use of a lightened '34 Ford flywheel, a '46 Ford clutch and 19/25 tooth Lincoln gears. Power flows to a '46 Columbia axle that, thanks to '40 Columbia controls, spins either 4.11 strip scorchers or 2.94 boulevard busters. In front of that drivetrain, a '40 Ford suspension hangs a 3.5-inch Mor-Drop axle behind '41 Ford shackles, a '40 Ford steering box and '39 Houdaille shocks. Behind that drivetrain, a second pair of Houdaille shocks combines with a de-arched '37 Ford spring to maintain the car's killer ride height. Stops come courtesy of '39 Ford brakes that, naturally, are piped to a '39 Ford master cylinder. And it all rides on clean, '36 Ford wheels which spin fresh 6.00-16 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewalls around a fusion of '36 Zephyr trim rings and '37 Ford center caps. • Pop this coupe's doors and you'll find an attractive Naugahyde interior that was installed by Burt Litton of Burt Litton Street Rods. At the front of that interior, a body-matched dash, which marries the bottom section of a '40 Ford with the top section of a '35 Ford, allows use of the car's stock windshield roll-out mechanism. Seating is provided by a '36 flip-up bench, which has been lowered over a modern JVC CD player. And in front of the driver, a '41 Mercury steering wheel laps a chrome shifter, a '40 Ford column and a modified '40 Ford harness. • Stylish and alluring, this striking custom is a bellwether of pre-war creativity. You really can't ask for a more authentic blend of old school style and era-correct driving characteristics.
