1941 Ford Convertible "Survivor"

Paul Harper purchased this 1941 Ford convertible in 1980 and spent more than two decades refining it into what would become Survivor, completed in the early 2000s. True to its name, Survivor is a car that endured the test of time and Paul’s meticulous standards, resulting in a finished piece that reflects both patience and artistry. For Paul, this build was deeply personal, representing his lifelong dedication to the craft of custom cars. Today, Survivor stands as a rolling piece of his legacy, carrying forward his reputation for authenticity, detail, and timeless style.
