1939 Ford Coupe Modified – Winning on the Beach

Attending shows is always fun, and you never know what you might find among the entries. The Highlands Motoring Festival is a small show in the western North Carolina mountain town of Highlands. There were a number of very interesting automobiles in the show, including a ’39 Ford racecar that appeared, at first, much less impressive than the Porsche Indycar that had also been entered. That is, less impressive until you hear that black Ford coupe’s story.
