Ford didn't take long to become one of the most dominating players in the automobile market by 1940, and this 1940 model year Ford Deluxe is the prime example of this very fact. Built for the upper middle class of society, the De Luxe was the first Ford to have an all-steel roof, and it was the 1940 model that first saw the sealed-beam headlights become a reality. It goes without saying this Deluxe has plenty of history to its name. But times move on, and although this particular vehicle might be quite different from what it was when it was straight out of the factory, it is still a great attempt at preserving the charm of Ford in the 1940s. With a rebuilt Chevy engine that has less than 20,000 miles on the clock, this Ford Deluxe is still going strong and now comes with a handful of modern conveniences to make life that much easier too.
The exterior of this particular Deluxe fits the bill with many other Fords that came out of the production line at the time. Featuring the vintage feel of a car from the 1920s, with a design that is visibly evolving into the likes we see in the 1960s with the retro aesthetic, this Deluxe has an appearance that appeals to elements of both eras. The black exterior is a classic choice, and the minimal badging and branding is a welcome piece of tasteful exterior design. The long swooping lines and spacious body of the Deluxe create an unmistakable silhouette, and with its more modern five-spoke wheels and 9-inch rear end with plenty of chrome to go around, this car is a sight to behold. Climbing inside, you'll find yourself with a distinctly different interior that has undergone some changes. The passengers now have bucket seats, cup holders, and a new stereo system with a CD player, according to the current owner. There are even power windows installed as an upgrade for further convenience.
With a rebuilt 350ci Chevrolet engine paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, this Ford Deluxe has plenty of pep in its step. In addition, the car has undergone a recent tune-up according to the current owner. An oil change has also been recently done, according to the current owner, and if you were worried about handling, rest assured that the new KYB shocks and struts, new brake pads, front disk brakes, and rear drum brakes are more than adequate.
The 40s and the American automotive scene were geared more towards cruising and luxury; performance was not a priority. Being behind the wheel of a 40s machine is an experience; its smooth and refined drive quality and interior appointments make for the perfect weekend cruiser with friends and family. Present today is this lovely 1941 Ford Deluxe Convertible; it's weekend cruising done right and a real beauty when out and about.

This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Restoration is a proud member of the 1937 Ford series that ran for four model years.

The car in question here has undergone a significant restoration effort and has just 6,000 miles since then. Furthermore, it's received a few enhancements under the skin to make it go surprisingly swiftly when the mood strikes.
The original Ford Bronco is always a popular classic here at Exotic Car Trader, and for good reason. The Bronco combined good looks with amazing off-road performance and has developed a cult following. But we’d wager you haven’t seen a Bronco quite like this: Say hello to the 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco by Zero Labs. As the name implies, it’s what we like to call an “electromod.” That is, the original drivetrain has been swapped out for an all-electric one! This 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco features two electric motors—one for each axle—giving it four-wheel drive and a range of over 235 miles. To keep up with the upgraded drivetrain, the rest of the vehicle has been meticulously restored, with new parts installed and an upgraded interior while retaining the classic looks of the original car.
If there’s one thing the classic Ford Bronco community is known for, it's their diverse aftermarket community. From concourse-level restorations to LS-swapped restomods, we’ve seen them all — and that includes several EV conversions, too. So it’s good to see the same custom spirit being kept alive with the modern reincarnation of the Ford Bronco nameplate. This 2023 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4x4 is the perfect example, having been extensively modified by the team at SoFlo Jeeps. SoFlo Jeeps’ extensive customization work features their signature Kevlar armor coating. You’ll also find upgrades to many exterior and interior areas, while this 5,300-mile-old Ford Bronco also sports a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.
Carroll Shelby was a racer at heart. But when he wasn’t racing, he was frequently found making Fords go faster. That's one reason why the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a model known by all in the car community. The S197-generation Ford Mustang revived the Shelby GT500 moniker thanks to a collaboration between Ford’s Special Vehicle Team and Shelby American. The resultant product featured a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine under the hood, with a nice round figure of 500 hp to the rear wheels. And while any Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is special, our featured car takes things a step further. It includes a Kenne Bell Mammoth 1100HP supercharger, along with multiple other upgrades and unique styling additions. With just 13,600 miles reported, this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe is the ideal car for those looking for something to stand out from the crowd.
If you’re in the market for a pre-war American hot rod, the chances are you’ll have seen multitudes of Fords on the market. The Blue Oval is by far the most popular choice when it comes to crazy builds, even if many of them don’t always sport a Ford motor. This 1935 Chevrolet Vicky is here to readdress the balance. Like the Ford options, it ticks the usual hot rodder checkboxes: fiberglass body? Check. Chopped roof? Check. Custom rims? Check. Big V8 powerplant? Check. Our featured car is more than just a car at this point. It’s a work of art. And, it could be yours, with just 6,500 miles reported running on the new engine.
In the realm of car customization, the philosophy of "more" doesn't always equate to "better." A multitude of options exists for exterior, interior, and performance modifications, yet it's the delicate balance of these elements that culminates in a custom project perfected. If you're in search of a project that turns heads without veering into excess, feast your eyes on this 1941 Willys Americar Coupe Pro Street Hot Rod build showcased today.
For those in search of thrills, the 1923 Ford T-Bucket presents an unparalleled opportunity. Far from being a standard kit car, this vehicle is built upon an authentic 1923 Ford chassis and boasts a title from the same year. Recently updated with a new EDM and with just 640 miles on the odometer, this vehicle challenges classification—is it a hot rod, a restomod, or something else entirely? One thing is certain: driving this T-Bucket guarantees more attention than any Ferrari, Lamborghini, or other exotic cars could ever muster.
