Nice toys! The bumper corners on the 40 look different,is that an option or an add on from another car?

Thank you. Those  bumper ends were an option for 1940 Fords. Part # 01A-18383. $2.75 each in 1940. They were on the car when I bought it. Photo attached. Bob Drake sells them

So true. You can't beat the look and sound of a flatty.

Nice '40. What are the future plans for the Merc? I like what I see so far.
