Re: JonW's 1939 Super Eight Touring Sedan

Welcome Jon,

It is good to see more 39 Super 8's coming out. I am surprised at how many have shown up in recent times. Yours looks like it will make a wonderful car. We have had ours for three years, and reliably on the road for two. It is a pleasant well-mannered car. The engines are a bit more cantankerous than the juniors and 40 or latter seniors, but work well if sorted out and properly maintained. These cars work very well with the optional overdrive.

Looks like you are making great progress. Hang in there!
Jim
