Henry Ford's heritage traces back to King Henry VIII - the Tudor king. There were bridge builders and water crossing makers that Henry used during war. Those folks were called "forders". King Henry had a favorite fording group and awrded them a Tudor Peerage giving them them the family name of Ford. Henry Ford also built cars in England. As a celebration of his family heritage, he named several car designs "Tudor" - this is one of them. True story. Chris, I loved your choices on this build - thanks for sharing.

another good build-- if I remember correctly the spare running board was part of a double kit called "diamond in the rough"--never bought the kit but it contains(if I remember correctly) this kit with a different fender assembly with the right front and running board removed it also consisted of the 53 ford pickup and the four wheel utility trailer(oops thats the car hauler trailer)

Wow, just lovely results! Thanks for blazing a trail. I would buy two kits for a simultaneous build, one of a 1939 model, the other of a 1940 version; showroom new, stock, original parts and paint. I do not know what the actual body colour options would be (I would not risk a close bungle); black can be good, though I would like a bit of variety.

1939 Ford custom Tudor hot rod a very classic car. Outbreak of the second world war

What an awesome job Chris as always an thanks for the time you put into are videos thank 👍🏻👍🏻

Looks really nice!

Another great build. The MPC '76 Chevy Caprice with Trailer kit also includes the "Barn Finds Restoration" decals with purple script and a yellow hot rod.

It looks sick, I would have left the hood off to show that beautiful motor. 😎

Great job Chris another great build thank you for sharing

I don't normally build cars from this era but I did build the Sedan Delivery version of this kit many years ago and loved it. I love all the custom options available in this particular release and I'm sure that second engine will come in handy for another build or even for display purposes, like putting it in the bed of a pickup.

Very clean build. Nice color choices. So many options with this classic kit. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice build 👌. Absolutely love the 40s cars!!

Looks sweet. That color combo is very cool 😎

Built one years ago, but the kit is light on detail. I got tired of the look so I cut down the body for use as a vintage modified on the excellent MPC chassis from the Ridge Runner kit. Cheers, y'all!

That’s a great kit! A must have, I enjoyed it when I built the original in the day. Looks great Chris!!! Thanks for the review. 😎

Cool build. I built a stock version of the 1940 Ford back in 2020. I showed the picture on your Facebook page. It goes together quite nicely from what I remember.

I like the shape of these older cars - you did a great build. Thanks.

Wish AMT had included a set of wide whitewall tires in the kit. It would have made for a nice classy stock build. Otherwise, beautiful build and review Chris! Rock on Brother 😁!

My 37 Ford truck bumper brackets was the same way .they was lose in bag.hope u fine them .thanks for sharing

Hmmm…..Chris, I take it that the Oldsmobile engine in the kit has the J2 setup out of the ‘50’s you showed? That there alone is worth the price of admission, because I can think of a number of cars that could go into. ✌🏾

Great build👍A lot of these same parts are in the AMT coke-cola ‘40 Ford

Nice 😅

This is a pretty cool kit. Im going to have to order one now. Nice job as always.

Very nice. I like the flat head engine, and the video and review is great. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

These are cars I've always liked Great job Chris

I only have a few on display, many are given away to people in my area that like the subject or stored.

Don't know what you did, but those headlights shine in whatever light you are using, Great paint job! But... no skirts? I'll see myself out. :)

Hi Chris, that was a excellent build and your paint finish was spot on, congratulations on a job well done, one question if I may, couldbthis be used as a 1940 era Police Car? Best regards from Australia

If I order it I'll order it just because of the 2 engines an use the 2 sets of wheels an tires an use the body a part's for experiencing with painting an for the part's box

Looks cool.

Nice job! Where do you storage all your finished jobs? Maybe you can show in a future video

that car remind me christmas story

@@williamwagaman9538 oh--trivia time--the old trophy series had motors that were interchangeable with minor work--the roadster had a Chrysler, the coupe had the Buick, the sedan and sedan delivery had the Olds, the 34 pickup had a Ford, the Vicky and the Phaeton had a different Ford, and the model t double kit had a Lincoln--there may be more but my old decrepit mind can only remember those--they all use the same motor mounts and the same transmission--oh almost forgot the 36 Ford kits had a Pontiac

I had never liked that model, so I will not build it 😊
