The passing of a Friend.

Last year around Thanksgiving, a good friend of mine (really my best friend) passed away from a massive heart attack. He owned a 1941 Merc Coupe, that he loved dearly. Almost more then his wife. He bought the car from another friend of mine and did nothing But IMPROVE on it constantly. His wife has tried several times to drive the car and become a part of the rodding crowd, but just can't sit in HIS seat and drive the car. So she is attempting to turn loose of her memories and sell the car. I told her that I would give her a hand in doing so. Since this seems to be a pretty straight up collection of guys, I thought it would be a good place to start. Yes, I do know there is a for sale section, but then this is close to me and this is where I wanted it posted for now. Other sites on the internet will recieve the normal posting and here as well. If your interested or know someone that might be, let me know. Thanks for listening to an older guy with an empty spot.

J.T.- Sorry to hear of your loss and please pass on a good word to the widow from us here on line. Please give some more details on the 41 coupe I may know someone who would be interested. He's always into the different types of rides (early Rivieras, v-8 motorcycles,etc) and this may just be one he'd be interested in. Can you post photos?

Hi 35delivery. I have created a web page with a few of the Merc's pictures on it. I plan on placing a couple more, such as engine compartment and the interior. Just need to get the time. I'm currently working with a few contractors, to get me a 40X60 building built. Boy what a chore. Anyway, have a look at the following web page for the Merc.
Thanks for your interest.
