Why is it that many 1920s and 1930s Fords end up becoming restomods? That’s because these cars have a design that never seems to go out of style. Paired with a snazzy hot rod persona, these cars can appeal to even the millennials, and with features such as automatic transmissions, you don’t need to learn the skills of clutch balancing to enjoy these timeless beauties. Want an example? Just cast your eyes upon this magnificent 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom that started out life as a workmanlike four-door sedan but has since been transformed into this piece of art in motion, with under 41,000 miles on the clock.
Sporting an eye-catching purple paint job with yellow flamework, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom has seen its fiberglass and steel body panels frenched and shaved. Then, it has received tinted glass, LED taillamps, and a set of 15-inch mag wheels. Meanwhile, the front tires have been upgraded to Toyo 185/60 units for better grip while maintaining suitable ride comfort and aesthetic appearance with a chunky sidewall. Meanwhile, the rear tires are Toyo 255/60 units, which is necessary since there’s a potent V8 powering them. The interior of this 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom features a Vintage Air air conditioning system, a GT steering wheel, classic-styled instrument gauges, custom front bucket seats, and a rear bench delete. The seating and interior panels are covered in supple leather, and there are Billet floor shift-style cup holders. The vehicle’s trunk remains as-is, and you’ve got even more cargo space in the area where the rear bench seat used to be.
This 1939 Ford Deluxe Custom packs a powerful 350ci V8, paired with a Turbo 350 automatic gearbox and a Ford 9-inch rear end. The engine also benefits from polished ‘Heartbeat of America’ valve covers and air cleaner, the latter of which feeds air into a Weber polished 4-barrel carburetor. Then, there’s an aluminum intake manifold and a full custom exhaust system right up to the headers. Then, there’s an HEI electrical system with MSD coil and chrome spark plug rails. Meanwhile, the battery has been relocated to the trunk. Other highlights include a blacked-out aluminum radiator with a fan, Power R&P steering, a Mustang II front end, and tubular control arms.

The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.
In 1937, Ford debuted its update on the popular Model 48. This era is commonly called the 1937 Ford, and it ran between 1937 and 1940. Here, Ford debuted an all-new 136ci V8 at the entry level of the range, but kept the 221ci unit unchanged. The Blue Oval also offered buyers many body styles, including coupes, convertibles, sedans, coupe utilities, station wagons and vans. Furthermore, the 1937 Ford range was also sold in Australia, as well as assembled in Romania and Latvia. Ford sure was going places. Today, cars of this vintage have usually been turned into restomods and hot rods, but it’s not hard to find relatively true-to-stock examples. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe that’s for sale in Oak Hill, Florida right now. It’s got just over 70,000 miles on its 221ci Flathead V8, and comes with a 3-speed manual transmission. We’re also told that the car has been repainted.
The 1940 Ford range came in various body styles, including two and four-door sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, coupe utilities and even a utility van. Typically, in Ford parlance, the term Tudor referred to a two-door variant, usually a sedan or station wagon. So, as you can glean, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod is a two-door machine, but that’s not all. You see, this Morgan Hill-based car has received a thorough makeover, including a more potent powerplant, a searing red coat of Viper Red paint, a refurbished interior and so much more. Plus, it’s traveled just 3,150 miles since then, making it a fine vintage Ford to add to your life, especially as it’s pretty comfortable and easy to drive with all those upgrades under its belt.

This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
