GLA has reengineered the iconic Magnum 500 wheel, producing an alloy 1-piece version of the classic 2-piece welded steel versions. The GLA Magnum wheel is lighter, stronger and easier to balance than the old Magnum 500. It is about 50% lighter than the original steel version and 1-piece design makes it a stronger, easier to balance wheel. Thanks to GLA you can get the benefits of modern technology and still retain that classic muscle car look. Yep, old school doesn’t have to be old.

1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe
Story and photos by Cam Hutchins
The decision to move from Coquitlam, B.C. to a bigger bit of property in the Fraser Valley allowed him to build a decent shop, and he overwhelming number of cool street rods being driven he even hauled the ‘40 Ford with him...but still, it had to wait. regularly is a testament to the important part they play in the car culture, and their overall practicality. Doug Curran has built his share of ‘55 Chevys with a ‘57 thrown in, and a few mid ‘50s Chevy trucks. About six years ago, he started to build a car that had so many emotional connections to it, and the end result is so impressive he could not wait to finish it.
T
Building a 1940 Ford Deluxe coupe was a long-time project with a lot more waiting than anything else. This particular car was always special to him because his late wife had gone to her grad in the car, as one of her friend’s boyfriends owned it. Currans’s future brother-in-law ended up owning the car, and watching him start stripping it down was too much for Curran, and a deal was made to trade a 1938 Chevy for it in 1977. Driving a 1955 Chevy two-door hardtop as his daily driver and racing another one took up most of his free time, and he had just finished a 1934 Ford Fordor sedan that he still owns. With the closing of the original Mission Raceway (in 1978), he moved on to other things but still did not get around to the ‘40 Ford. Time marched on, and parts that were not used on the numerous street rods he built, started to be put aside for “one of these days.” 28 Performance Plus OCT/NOV 2013

Finally, six years ago, the project got started with a few rules... this would be the type of Street Rod he would have driven in High School if he was one of the rich kids. To that end, nothing that was not built prior to 1965 would go in the car. The glaring exception is the dual master cylinder, but safety is sort of important as well. He started to look at the parts he had gathered and realized he could build a car that would have been the “Bomb” on the race tracks of the early ‘60s. The body was rough back then and sitting for decades did not improve it at all, and as much got thrown away as was kept. A better frame was found from a donor car, and the original frame and floorboards hit the road. New floorboards were crafted by Curran and he was painstaking in creating the correct stock looking ribs and reinforcing. That was the easy part ...the whole bottom 14 inches or so had disappeared with the rust fairy and Curran fabricated a lot of his own body parts with a great deal of help from Doug Rutherford Jr. The rain gutters of the ‘40 are integral to the look and although recently, lots have had them shaved, he liked the look, and Rutherford spent countless hours putting fresh metal above and below the rain gutter and welding the whole mess together. The driver’s side A-pillar retained the structural rigidity of a wet napkin, so a new piece was purchased and installed. The doors started to open and close better than they did even back in the ‘60s, after many hours of work. The look of the ‘40 Ford is so pleasing to Curran, his only improvements over Ford’s original design is the addition of a hidden fuel filler cap with a custom-made fuel door made out of a donor ‘40 fender. Tunnelled antennas on the passenger side fender finished off the metal work and the car went to the “do it yourself” sand blasters for cleaning.

A ’40 Ford three-inch drop axle using triangulated and shaped wishbones and the original sway bar and transverse leaf spring were used up front along with a 1964 Chevelle steering box connected to the 1959 Olds “Deep Vee”-shaped steering wheel and steering column shortened four inches. For a cool effect, an aluminum connecting rod is used to support the steering column. The original pedals are used, but the clutch pedal is extended and a hydraulic clutch is installed. The 327 Chevy motor was not completed in time for this summer and after waiting 35 years and being impatient to drive the car, a small-block was stuffed in for the summer. One of the trick pieces underhood is the radiator overflow tank, fabbed from a matching valve cover.
Always liking the Orange colour used on 1965 Mustangs (even though it was clearly called Poppy Red), Curran wavered between the orange and chocolate brown for quite some time. Rutherford laid down the paint, and keeping with the whole ‘60s thing, he painted it in a barn. The bright stuff is all stock, and lots of searching through his pile of “one of these days” parts got Curran all sorts of cool stuff for the build. After building a single-hoop rollbar with two supporting bars to the rear, he strapped on an old Pyrene fire extinguisher that is stamped with the Canadian Pacific Railroad logo. Curran found it at a garage sale in Surrey about ten years ago and onto the “one of these days” pile it went.
Fenderwell headers were fabricated by Curran and drop down to a collector with a dump plate that can be removed for the wideopen sound guaranteed to get tickets. When not attracting red and blue lights, the exhaust gasses head back through mufflers to a manifold which disperses the gas through eight exhaust tips. This look is to mimic the scavenger pipes of the ‘60s that ran a separate pipe for each cylinder. The transmission is a Borg-Warner Super T10 bought used off of a friend, and uses a two-piece cast steel scattershield. A WW1 bayonet is used as a shifter, and it came off an Olds Hydramatic in an old hot rod in a wrecking yard in Ontario in 1974. Finishing off the back end is a Ford 9-inch posi rearend out of a 1965 Ford Pickup complete with the ‘65 brakes. The front brakes are ‘56 Ford pickup brakes that are a direct bolt-on. Rear Dodge pickup springs are mounted parallel, and 50-inch ladder bars keeping the axle in place are hand-fabbed by Curran.

THANK YOU!
The seat is a stock ‘40 unit with plain black Naugahyde, as are the door panels done by Neighbourhood Upholstery in Langley. A typical spartan look suitable for a race car. The window cranks and door handles are stock and have a very “Art Deco” look to them. The “No Drafts” are frameless with the back seating into a bit of metal trim on the front part of the side windows. Other old goodies include a replica of the sticker from Bonneville he acquired decades ago, for the windshield. The helmet that he raced with in the ‘60s, complete with “Doug” hand-painted by Curran over the factory Blue Metal Flake paint job, still has the Snell-approved sticker on the inside. The ignition key is attached to a spare dash knob so it looks in place when inserted, and the in-dash speaker grille flips down to reveal a hidden stereo system. The outside mirrors are held in
place with mag wheel lug nuts and a heavy-duty castor under the front nose piece allows for speed bumps to be smoothed out. To further the badass race car look, plain black ‘65 Ford pickup wheels are used with the rear widened to 8-inches. Hurst cheater slicks with some self-cut grooves make them more streetable, while a chrome spider kit with spider rings give it just the right amount of bling. Mostly finished by May of 2013 except for the period-correct motor, the car has only been driven about 300 miles, and while he never got to drive it to high school, he will be able to brag about it at the Canadian Street Rodding Hall of Fame. This fall, Curran will travel to Waterdown, Ontario to be inducted into that pantheon of rodding legends on October 26. An honour like this does not come along every day, but when you have built as many cool rides as Curran, it seems fitting.

Originally designed in the mid-sixties, Mike was quick to point out that the Spider was “first for everything” and ahead of its time. It wasn’t common for affordable, two-seat, ragtop cars to have fourwheel disc brakes and a five-speed transmission, and he said what makes it the most unique is that it was the first car imported to the U.S. with a belt-driven double overhead cam. It’s hard not to feel like jumping behind the wheel of this sporty Italian ride. And for first timer, Sean Okumura, it is his pure love of driving old cars that motivated him to purchase his very fine ’66 Chevelle from a buddy who did the restoration; he, like so many others, came to look and appreciate all the other cars….and he especially liked those Cobras.

With a 383 Stroker, Sean Okumura loves driving his classic ‘66 Chevelle For local car clubs, ‘Cars and CoffeeTM is also a favourite spot to meet up. I spoke with a group from the ‘Sin City Mini Club’ and asked them why they were so dedicated to this particular gathering and I think Richard Rowe said it best. “I’m here every Saturday with friends and car enthusiasts to talk about old times and old cars, and we are all back in our 20s again.” So, enough said. If you are a car devotee with plans to cruise down to Sin City some time, why not ‘roll the dice’ off ‘The Strip’ and drop by Cars and CoffeeTM to experience another side of Las Vegas hospitality. I’m betting it will be a winner.

It was at the time of the Herald’s introduction that StandardTriumph was looking for more brand recognition, which resulted in phasing out Standard. By 1963, everything was known simply as Triumph.
Despite serious competition from available models such as the BMC Mini and the Ford Anglia, Herald sales flourished, particularly for the convertible because it offered four-seat capacity with an easy-to-use convertible roof. And the wagon made a practical alternative to the popular Morris Minor The construction technique used in the Herald was quite dif- Traveler. ferent from previous models.
