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 exterior appearance of the 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible is typical of the era, with a distinctive grille, streamlined fenders, and an abundance of chrome trim. A Ford Deluxe badge is located on either side of the bonnet. Our featured car has undergone a high-quality restoration and features a brand-new maroon paint job. Up front, you’ll find Ford’s distinctive grille, with horizontal bars, as well as large chrome-rimmed headlights and a chrome front bumper with overiders. The car sits on Period-styled Firestone white-wall tires with chrome “Ford De Luxe” engraved hubcaps. The rear wheels are enclosed, and the owner also reports that the car includes Ford side skirts. The soft top is black, while the interior is a deep shade of red. The driver is presented with a two-spoke steering wheel with the “Ford De Luxe” text featured in the center.

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.

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.
