The Model 48 made its debut in 1935 and was a modernized version of the existing Model 40A, Ford’s primary product at the time. The perfect combination of practicality, good looks, and affordability that the Model 48 possessed made it exceedingly successful and boosted Ford ahead of Chevrolet, the company’s main rival at the time, taking the crown for most cars sold that year; 820,000 to be exact. This 1935 Ford Model 48 is the Deluxe trim, and currently resides in Ohio and is one of just 3,187 cars ever produced. What makes it even more exclusive is that this Deluxe is reportedly one of just 30 cars left.
This rare 1935 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan has received a complete body-off restoration and now sits proudly in Deer Born Blue—the original color that it first came in. The abundance of chrome that highlights the exterior, such as its massive front grille, front, and rear bumper, along with the head and taillights, has been refinished. This Model 48 convertible is equipped with a beige soft top and sits on a set of whitewall tires. The interior has been reupholstered and restored by Lebanon Bonney Company. The cabin features a perfectly preserved tan interior that includes all trim pieces to look brand new and plush leather seats, along with leather door panels and a beautiful 3-spoke steering wheel that matches the dash panel.
Under the hood of this vintage Deluxe sits a 221ci 3.6L flathead V-8 that sends power to the rear wheels. The naturally aspirated V8 can produce up to 85BHP at 3,800rmp via a 3-speed manual standard transmission.
While the early 1940s were a turbulent time for the U.S. and the rest of the world, some stunning cars were produced during the period. This era of cars is characterized by their streamlined and more aerodynamic looks while retaining separate fenders and plenty of chrome. Design was king, and the sought-after Ford Convertibles are known for their good looks and ever-increasing value among collectors. Our featured car is a 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible that has undergone an extensive restoration. The current owner reports that this vintage car has even scored a 98 grade out of 100 for the restoration work that was carried out. The owner also reports that the car has won many awards at classic car shows.

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.
