Classy! That will be a nice car when you are done. Hope you plan to do it right and have the interior as original as possible.....200X seats and gauges in a 40's car are about as hideous as a BPC sutffed inside a roundy cabinet IMHO.

My theory is it had fallen off decades before.. and been laying covered by grass along the curb, and was then dislodged by a snowplow in the winter..
I had something like that happen in the 90's too. In the park in front of my old house in Lombard Ill. I found a 40's car handle sitting near the base of a tree....It must have been buried since the chrome was worn off. The neighborhood was supposedly the original city dump, and I found lots of 20's and older glass buried there, but since the our house was built in ~1947 I wonder how that handle got there.....It was a good 10-20' from the street.
