This is nothing but a statement of my taste and opinion:

For me, all the cars of the '41 through '48 era were bulbous and fugly. I got my drivers license in 1963, so those cars were really old, worn out and underpowered, but all I could afford. The '46 to '48 models were very slightly retrimmed versions of the '41 for the big three. They did this to buy some time to develop and introduce the '49 models after the interruption of the war.

Mopars IMHO were the ugliest and most bulbous of all of them. They even made my '47 Fleetline look sleek. With the exception of the Ford of the era, mainly because of its hop up potential, they had some of the flimsiest engines for their era. The gearboxes, axles, suspensions and brakes weren't any better.

I don't mean to rain on your parade Aquaticedge, but I just find it impossible to warm up to them.

I built a few street rods in the seventies and was part of the scene, and with the exception of a few Fords from the era, it was very uncommon to see a rod built from any car of that era. Now that they have been ignored and largely unmodified over the years, I expect this is why a few emerge these days.

The good news about the example in the ad is that it doesn't have one of the Mopar sixes of the period. I can't think of any engine that I would rather NOT have. The babbit rod Chevys of the era are almost as bad, especially if they get even slightly over revved in which case the oil scoopers on the connecting rods couldn't keep up.
