Nice find.  We have a 39 Pontiac convertible, but it doesn't look that good.

I dig the 41. Was that a 216 or 235 that came in them?

Well today i went and checkout my new truck and installed a battery and alt. then i found that one of the Fuseable links was burnt at the starter from the headers so that is why it was not charging . I don't like to tow them when i know they run . So did the topical cold start process and pump the gas pedal,crank,pump,crank,pump,crank and then it fired right up and ran like it was just parked yesterday, not two and half years ago and it just sat there and idled smooth one gas leak on rubber line transmission shifts good,Even has Edelbrock intake and carb with M/T valve covers will that all for now will have pics of engine and interior after i drive it home tomorrow ;D 
 Oh i forgot it has some 4in speakers above the shoudler belts by your head they look stock any ideas ?

Good location (IMO) for the camper shell. Let's see those little speakers above the seatbelts.
