Bob Scales '40 Convertible Earns Dearborn Bob Scales ‘40 Convertible earns Dearborn Monthly Newsletter of the Early Ford V8 Club of America Bob Scales’ ‘40 convertible East Tennessee Regional Group July 6, 2015 earned a Dearborn Award at the Eastern national meet in Concord, NC, June 8-11, scoring 993 of 1,000 points for a perfect car as the judg- es gave it a thorough going over. This is not the first time it has received a Dearborn rating. Its former owner had claimed a simi- lar honor in 1993, a year after it had been restored for him. The car had apparently been stored in a protected environment since that time until Bob bought it in Febru- ary 2013. Bob reported that the speedome- ter had registered only 48 miles af- ter the previous restoration when he acquired it. Bob said in prepar- ing it for the recent showing, he had detailed the underside of the car, given it a complete lubrication Judges look carefully at the interior and exterior of Bob’s ‘40 convertible. and changed all the fluids before 19 flathead Ford V8s compete in Great Race he installed a Ford script battery, Of the 117 vehicles entered in the 2015 Great Race, 19 were flathead, replaced the spark plug wires and early Ford V8s.

It was also the only one made with a standard Ford dash, 16 inch wheels and a banjo steering wheel. Edsel kept it at a New York Ford Dealer, where he and his family could use it while in New York. In 1939, he had it retrofitted with a 239 Mercury engine. It is one of Edsel Ford’s few personal cars that survives today in remarkable condition, unrestored.

  • The Corvair Line: Styling Sensation of the 1960S by James Kraus
    The Corvair Line: Styling Sensation Of The 1960s by James Kraus Chevrolet Corvair 700 Sedan The Corvair Line is an accent line that circumnavigates the entire vehicle, front, sides and back, visually dividing the body into upper and lower sections. It can rise and fall, curve and bend, but must be unbroken, with neither beginning nor end. Volkswagen Transporter While the Corvair popularized this motif, it was not actually the first to make use of it. While there were a number of separate- fender era examples like the DKW Wanderer, 1937 Ford Model 74, Peugeot 202 and VW Beetle, the first modern appearance was on the Volkswagen Transporter of 1949. Fiat 500 In 1957, the Fiat 500 made its debut with a single concave character line encircling the perimeter. This was the first use of such a line in a single relatively flat plane, roughly parallel with the ground on a ponton, envelope body design. The idea of a such a single character line uniting the front, sides and rear was a concept that was clearly in the air at the General Motors styling studios in the late ’50s. The 1960 Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles featured partial Corvair Lines, but the new 1960 Corvair incorporated the full all-round treatment in the form of a crisp deeply- drawn crease, deviating from complete linearity only by way of a slightly dipped section between the headlamps. 1960 Pontiac Bonneville: a Corvair Line fading at the centre sides and intersected by quad tail lamps. Fitz and Van illustration While the Corvair was not the first to incorporate the 360-degree accent, its sharp, well-delineated expression of the feature had an immediate marked influence on automobile designers the world over.
