The Tom Cherry, Jr. Article on the 1939 -1940 Ford hot water heaters in the July/ Aug. 1989 Vol. 26, No.4, on page 24 of the V-8 Times shows a picture of the 39/40 heaters. Can someone tell me why the 1939 heater on the left in the photo has an outer case with square corners? Was this a proto-type? All 1939 Ford hot water heaters should have a outer case like the 1940 heater on the right. Domenic

Ya know Domenic, Most of the '39 heaters I've had were of the "round corner" variety. However, I have had a few that were squared off. Prototype? Nope. Early production? Possibly. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

I know this is an old thread but I just saw it. It has been many years since my dad and I were restoring heaters but I painted those myself and the 39 was not a prototype. I’m not entirely sure what corners you are talking about but it could be an optical illusion as the heaters were mounted on wooden stands that I used when I was at shows selling them. I believe the California vehicle foundation still has a set of 39-48 heaters on those stands. Thanks, Tom Cherry

Tom, I believe those heaters may now be located in the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum in Auburn, Indiana. This message was edited by trjford8 on 6-27-20 @ 9:23 AM
