New to the forum and the platform! Odd are I'll ask lots of stupid questions in the future so be forewarned. Anyway, here is my 1948 Club Coupe I just got, New Mexico car until recently, and despite a minor rear seal leak (apparently common) goes like hot stink with the Offy intake and dual exhaust! It's certainly much slower than my Challenger but I smile like an idiot while driving this one.

Nice car, we get lots of looks when driving these cars.  Here in NY State we don't have many of the 40s cars in comparison to the 50s and up at our car shows any more.

Thanks for the replys! I'll see if I can scrounge up some engine pictures tonight as requested. I'll get some pictures of the all original interior too :)

Welcome, and don't worry about "stupid" questions on this forum.  You'll find out soon enough the tactful methods some folks use to let you know when one reaches that plateau, but you'll always get an answer.  I'd recommend searches first, there is a lot of info already lurking about this site, virtually any problem has surfaced already.  New methods of addressing old problems are always welcome, too.  Very nice car.  Our D24 was originally a New Mexico car, too.  Sold new in Carlsbad, we bought it near El Paso, so except for since we've had it after leaving NM, its a "southwest" car.

 

Photos are always encouraged.
