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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
This 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod is the kind of build that makes its intentions clear before the engine even fires. Showing approximately 4,918 miles, it pairs unmistakable prewar Ford styling with a 400ci V8, Moon Eyes fuel injection, a 4-speed automatic, and a dyno-sheet-reported 525 horsepower. An aftermarket nitrous system (not hooked up), line lock, and switch-controlled exhaust cutouts push the personality even further, while a TCI frame, triangulated 4-link rear suspension, and drilled and slotted 4-wheel brake rotors give the chassis the hardware to match. Finished in Viper Red over a Tan interior with Torque Thrust II wheels, subtle pinstriping, and a custom under-hood mural, this is a traditional hot rod with far more going on beneath the surface than its classic silhouette suggests.
This 1939 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Street Rod brings together classic prewar Ford styling, custom hot-rod craftsmanship, and a notable build pedigree. Showing approximately 20,140 miles, this example was built by Boyd Coddington and featured on American Hot Rod, giving it a level of provenance that sets it apart from a typical custom street rod. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and automatic transmission. Additional highlights include a shaved body, Mustang II front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes, Boyd Coddington wheels, and a reupholstered interior.
The 1939 Ford Deluxe Business Coupe remains one of the most recognizable pre-war American coupes, prized for its sweeping fenders, streamlined styling, and timeless hot rod appeal. This example has been transformed into a beautifully finished street rod that blends classic Ford styling with modern comfort and dependable V8 performance. Showing just 8,532 miles, this custom build features a 350ci V8 backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, along with thoughtful upgrades that make it equally suited for weekend cruising, local car shows, or long-distance road trips. Its striking custom Silver and Maroon paint scheme, upgraded interior, and extensive list of modern amenities make this Ford an eye-catching and enjoyable classic.
This 1926 Ford Model T Roadster Hot Rod is a compact, old-school street rod built around one of hot rodding’s most recognizable early-Ford shapes. Showing approximately 5,979 miles, it combines a lightweight roadster body with V8 power, an automatic transmission, and a distinctly traditional custom presentation. The black exterior is contrasted by purple pinstriping and flame graphics, while extensive chrome and polished engine hardware gives the exposed powerplant plenty of visual impact. With its staggered wheel setup, side-exit exhaust, custom aluminum dashboard, and vivid purple accents, this Model T delivers the stripped-down, mechanical personality enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod.
This 1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Street Rod takes one of Ford’s most iconic early body styles and turns it into something far more rowdy. Showing just 470 miles, it blends upright Model A proportions with the ingredients enthusiasts expect from a traditional street rod: a 302ci V8, 4-barrel carburetor, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, aftermarket suspension, and a custom exhaust system. What really gives this car its personality, though, is the visual treatment. The Lilac Metallic finish, custom devil and flame airbrush artwork, black vinyl roof, chrome trim, and polished wheels make it the kind of hot rod that stands out immediately rather than trying to imitate a factory restoration. The rebuilt title brand should also be noted.
Few cars capture the spirit of American hot rodding quite like a 1933 Ford three-window coupe, and this 1933 Ford Model 40 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod leans fully into that tradition. Showing just 4,563 miles, it pairs the unmistakable proportions of a prewar Ford coupe with a seriously upgraded mechanical package centered around a 383ci stroker V8. Holley Sniper EFI, a 200-4R 4-speed automatic, four-wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air climate control, aftermarket instrumentation, and a fully reworked interior make this much more than a nostalgia piece. Finished in a custom Firehouse Red paint job, it has the stance, sound, and visual drama enthusiasts expect from a proper hot rod, while incorporating the kind of upgrades that make it far easier to enjoy beyond the show field.
