Wednesday, July 19, 1989

A 1940 Ford two-door sedan
saw the light of day for the first
lime in a long time Saturday at the
Early Ford V-8 Club of America’s
Island Regional Group’s ninth
annual show and picnic.

Over 150 early Fords were on
display at the Saanich Historical
Artifacts Society property adja-
cent to the Pat Bay Highway in
Central Saanich.

But it was John Alicn’s 1940
two-door with'a brand-new gleam-

ing paint job that got most of the
alicntion.

Restored over an 18-month time
period in a Deep Cove-area garage,
the Ford has been completely
restored — from the frame up.

The paint is close to the original

color and was done i in the Deep
Cove shop.

“It takes a while to realize the
money back but as the hobby |
catches on more people realize the
time and money it takes to do this
sort of thing,” Allen said.

Saturday was the first time Allen
took the completed restoration
project on the road. And despite
misgivings about what a little rain

ight do to the new paint, it
turned out to be one of the stars of
the show.

“Every conceivable part has
been taken apart,”’ Allen: said.
“We started with the frame and
went up from there.”

About 1,500 hours labor and

$22,000 was required to completc
"the. job.

@: The interior is immaculate, the
paint flawless and the engine com-
partment a joy.

Under the hood lies a three-
‘quarter race flathead enginc, with
about a 252 c.i. displacement, and
a pair of two-barrel carburetors. :
