UPDATE : Many of you have brought it to my attention that this is a 1941. You are correct, however, the vehicle has been VIN verified and titled in California as a 1940. I would have to assume due to what appears to be a manufacture date of 11/2/40 on the fender tag. I have no doubt that this could be easily corrected if you were to buy the vehicle and it is of importance to you. My apologies for the confusion.
UPDATE : We have been in touch with the Vin verifier and are in the process of getting the title corrected. The numbers on the plate clearly indicate year and model. My apologies for the confusion, we were bit in the ass by the paid vin verification expert... I want to thank you all for your input on this situation..
