[AT] O/T 1941 Ford Business Coupe

[Ronald L. Cook]

Cecil,
         A 1941 tudor Deluxe was my first car.  You just don't see many 41s 
around anymore, let alone a business coupe.  Sure am glad you are looking 
at the photo and not me.  I prefer the looks of the 40.  I had a Standard 
coupe and still have a tudor Deluxe.  Thousands of mice living in it from 
the smell.  I am going to have to redo that thing some day and I have no 
idea how I am going to rid it of that smell.  Whew!
         I too would prefer the 40 Coupe over the 9N.  However, I have no 
mice in my 2N. <g>
