This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Restoration is a proud member of the 1937 Ford series that ran for four model years. Available in no less than ten body styles during its production run in the United States and Australia, these classic Thirties Fords are firmly cemented in American automotive history. 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.
You might think it's a black car at first glance, but the very dark shade of maroon paint on this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Restoration can be deceiving. The car looks stunning, with its black canvas top and reportedly new lights. We're also told that all chrome parts have been re-chromed, which explains why they look so shiny and new. Inside, you'll find a brown and black interior with reupholstered seats and mostly original fittings. There are three auxiliary gauges mounted in the center console for monitoring battery voltage, water temperature, and oil pressure, which is important when you've got a significantly enhanced powertrain that we'll get to in just a moment. We also spot a RadioShack CB radio installed beneath the clock in the dash.
This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Restoration has a newer and more powerful 4.9L V8 under the hood, as we are told by the current owner. It's said to have been rebuilt by Red's Heads in Sacramento, CA. Part of the rebuild has included boring the engine with flathead talk 3/8 by 3/8, installing a new high-pressure oil pump, fitting a ¾ street cam with steel tappets, and an aluminum flywheel which pairs with a steel clutch and racing clutch system. There's also said to be Hedman headers, Mallory ignition, aluminum high-compression heads, and a 2-carb manifold. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a rebuilt manual transmission with Lincoln Zephyr gears and a rebuilt 3.54 rear end. We're also informed that the radiator has been rebuilt, and a thermostat-controlled pancake fan has been fitted. Elsewhere, there are new biscuit-type shocks fitted.
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.
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.
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 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
The Ford Model T is the one for the history books. This was Henry Ford’s crowning glory, after all. It popularized the use of mass manufacturing techniques in automotive assembly, paving the way for today’s mega-factories over a century later. Over 14 million were made between 1908 and 1927, offering mobility and freedom to countless Americans. Of course, the Model T has also proved itself to be an interesting restomod platform. Up for sale is something a bit more outlandish than your typical Model T restomod. Say hello to the 1923 Ford T-Bucket. This custom special has around 7,100 miles on the clock and waits for a new owner to take it under their wing.
The 1955 Ford line-up featured fresh styling, as Ford had to keep up with its competitors. Beneath the skin, it was largely the same as the 1952 Ford. It was offered in a dizzying array of body styles, including two and four door sedans, two and four door hardtops, convertibles, station wagons and even the coupe utility style. This 1956 Ford Victoria is in two-door hardtop form and is said to have been fully restored. With a mere 68,700 miles on the clock, this fine example of Fifties Blue Oval motoring is an ideal first classic car for the budding enthusiast.
The late 40s saw a resurgence in the American luxury car market that had almost died completely thanks to more than a decade of economic depression and World War. The post-war boom brought a wave of Cadillacs, Packards, and Lincolns re-entering the market. For the first few years after the war, most cars (especially the more expensive ones like the Lincoln Continentals) were largely similar to the pre-war models. This was due to civilian automobile production being paused after Pearl Harbor (and America’s subsequent direct involvement in WWII). In this case, the first-generation Continental had only been in production for a couple of years before being put on hold. They were offered only in 2-door form, as either a coupe or a convertible. Several changes were made when production was resumed in 1946, the most prominent being the “Zephyr” name being removed from Lincoln-Zephyr. This production run would last only a few years as well, ending in 1948. The 1949 Continental would be a fancier Mercury and not quite the expensive and exclusive personal-luxury vehicle that its predecessor was.
