Custom 1940 Ford Built In 1955 Rescued From Old Philadelphia Body Shop
In Germantown, Pennsylvania around 1955 you probably would have seen this 1940 Ford custom cruising the streets. It was built by local drag racer and customizer Gene Stanton and was later purchased by Dick Pusuit. Dick used to race Gene's 40 Ford and when the car came up for sale in the 1980s he snatched it up. Dick displayed the car in the old showroom of his body shop but never got around to getting the car back on the road. Thankfully Rob Ida was able to assist Dick in selling the car to John Ruth. John plans on having Rob return it to its former glory and to get it back on the road! We cant wait to see the transformation!!!
