1940 Ford Deluxe Roadster

Beautiful and Correct Ground Up Restoration

The 1937 -1940 Ford deluxe cars were highly looked upon from a styling standpoint and Henry Ford reluctantly allowed them to advance in design with the introduction of hydraulic brakes in 1939 to ensure the car could stop as well as the fantastic flathead V8 would accelerate the car. For 1940 the most notable change was moving the shifter for the 3 speed transmission from the floor to the column allowing for more interior leg room.

This particular example has been wonderfully restored from the ground up in the attractive livery of burgundy with tan interior and a tan convertible soft top. The paint has been polished to a terrific shine and all the chrome shows beautifully throughout. Open the hood and a tastefully detailed flathead V8 engine appears, fully built to factory spec and even the rarely seen fresh air vent located behind the radiator used for summer/winter driving. The interior has been well done with the upholstery, dash and of course wood trim showing beautifully. The car fires up quickly with a push of the starter button and is a joy to drive. For anyone who has been searching for a tastefully restored 1940 Ford that can be driven and enjoyed, this car is a perfect opportunity to acquire a car already dialed in and ready to go.
