Found this lovely V8 1949 Ford Club Coupe on the way back from Houston, at Whiz Motors in Chappell Hill.
Using bodies from bankrupt Cord, Hupmobile and Graham made a small number of these cars trying to forestall their own demises, unsuccessfully. I could not find any pictures to confirm this as a 1940, but only a mention of 1939 Hupmobile Junior Six with this particular hood and headlights. 
Great find on E. 3rd St yesterday. Sturdy and cheap, they made almost 76,000 KB-5s from 1947 to 1949. Cost $1455 new. More specs here. I noticed I could see a bright engine block through the front grille, deciding it was not a runner. Then, I found a radiator mounted behind the cab. Curious.
Can’t tell if this is a 1946, ’47 or ’48. In any case, a real premium car waiting it’s turn at restoration or customization.
