ONE OF A KIND
1939 KING COBRA CONVERTIBLEDESIGNED & BUILT BY PAUL NORMAND
Titled as a 1939 Ford Cobra (you read that right, 1939)!
I am very pleased to offer an absolute one of a kind custom
steel bodied
automotive masterpiece and titled as a 1939 Ford Cobra Convertible designed and built by the inimitable Paul Normand and completed just recently and has never been offered for sale to the public, so I guess you could say that this is the IPO (Intial Public Offering) for this spectacular 1939 King Cobra Convertible.
The body is entirely constructed of steel and is aesthetically unlike any other Cobra inspired creation the world has ever seen as the fenders are massive and flare beautifully and boldly from its hard tapered midsection. This very powerful professionally built sports car has a custom built cobra copied tube frame and is powered by a road ripping 1948 Ford flat head V8 with a 1948 Ford manual transmission. The elegant and European inspired interior is brand new and flawless as can be observed in the photographs as is the elegant and rare design feature of the brand new convertible top that resourcefully and cleverly folds down completely hidden behind the cockpit seats when retracted.
The exterior paint is newly applied and flawless as the car has absolutely no dings and no dents and looks as a new vehicle would.
This vehicle is so unique and customized that I would please encourage all inquiries and have Paul Normand himself answer completely and fully any thing you wish to know about this very amazing automotive acquisition opportunity.
Why buy a rare collectible car when you can buy a unique one. Nothing upstages a Paul Normand designed and built automobile !!
ABOUT PAUL NORMAND
Mr. Normand is known globally in the world of hand fabrication of custom Speedsters and Roadsters and one of a kind Hot Rods and reputedly builds only one or two cars in the winter of each year. I have offered him a lucrative commission to construct a massive speedster body on my hulkish 1921 La France chain driven fire truck and he kindly responded I don't take commissions. Mr. Normand embodies the creative spirit of every truly great artist and is not motivated by money alone to envision, design and create cars, as he only builds cars that he wants to see created. Trust me, one day books will be written about this legendary New England gentleman as his cars are voraciously collected and curated by private museums and institutions worldwide and pursued by deep pocketed collectors and fine car enthusiasts/speculators globally. His cars are sold by world class auction venues like
Mecum
and
Barrett Jackson
with astonishing reserve shattering results. Opportunities to acquire Mr. Normand's automotive artworks are dwindling as it is my understanding that Mr. Normand is over 70 years of age.
In the very peculiar consumer age where mundane, cookie cutter mass produced kit cars can now cost upwards $100, 000 (AC Cobra replicas) it is becoming increasingly difficult or nearly impossible to find old world artisans who can manually (ingeniously) hammer, bend, manipulate and stick weld steel skin over buck molds to create unique, authentic looking beautiful and provoking cars as was executed in the golden age of custom bodied automobiles of the 1920's and 1930's.
I have the unique distinction of having owned four Paul Normand automotive masterpieces and when I offered two of my Normand Speedsters for sale last week, they were immediately and aggressively pursued by multiple buyers nationally and internationally, but eventually both cars ended up in the most illustrious and private, mid western automobile museum/collection in the United States (of over 500 convertibles!) and all of this frenzied bidding, negotiation and ultimate sale was consummated in just under 72 hours.
As always, I am very open and receptive to other automotive or other asset class trades, up, down or sideways. It never hurts to ask. Thanks.
