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. Behind the wheel is a 100-mph horizontal speedometer flanked by additional gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and battery charging state. Under the dashboard, you’ll find a compass, while placed ahead of the front-seat passenger is an analog clock. The owner also reports an added radio.
Under the hood, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible has a 221ci Ford V8 engine. This engine is connected to a manual transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels.

Vintage Fords seem to take two forms these days. Pristinely-restored classics with true to original form, or wacky hot rods that change nearly everything. Today’s 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe straddles the line between these two. On the outside, this nice green classic looks pretty stock. Under the skin and on the inside, though, it’s been tastefully upgraded to make it more pleasant to drive, showcase, and enjoy. Now up for grabs in Carnation, Washington with 24,308 miles on the odometer, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a car from the 1930s with modern features such as a sound system, automatic gearbox and heating.
Blending pre-war American design with raw hot rod attitude, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Sedan Delivery Street Rod is a bold and highly customized build. Showing just 497 miles, this example represents a fresh, purpose-built creation that leans more toward traditional street rod culture than a subtle restomod. With its aggressive stance, patina-style finish, and LS-powered drivetrain, this Ford delivers a unique mix of vintage aesthetics and modern performance. It’s the kind of build that turns heads at shows while still being fully capable of hitting the road with confidence.
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.
The 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible is a standout example of classic American open-top motoring, elevated by the presence of a desirable GTA-spec 390ci V8. Showing 11,364 miles on the odometer, this Fairlane blends vintage styling with thoughtful upgrades that enhance both reliability and driving enjoyment. The GTA engine—originally associated with Ford’s performance-oriented Fairlane GT/A models—adds an extra layer of appeal, delivering strong torque and smooth power delivery. Finished in light blue metallic over a blue interior with a white convertible top, this car embodies the spirit of effortless cruising with a performance edge.
The 1973 Ford F-250 Ranger represents the beginning of Ford’s sixth-generation F-Series lineup, a period when durability and simplicity defined the American pickup. This particular truck shows just 53,719 miles and presents as a highly original, well-preserved example of a classic ¾-ton workhorse. Finished in the period-correct Limestone Green Metallic and equipped with the Ranger trim package, it blends utilitarian capability with subtle upscale touches for its time. The addition of a factory-style automatic transmission and 4WD system makes it especially desirable, offering both ease of driving and genuine off-road capability. Trucks like this are increasingly sought after for their honest character, mechanical simplicity, and unmistakable vintage presence.
If you’re looking for the ultimate combination of heavy-duty capability and premium comfort, this 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty King Ranch checks every box. Designed as Ford’s top-tier dually pickup, the F-450 is built to handle serious towing and commercial-grade workloads while surrounding occupants with upscale materials and advanced tech. This example shows just 10,480 miles, making it a lightly used, near-new truck with a strong presence and even stronger capability. Finished in the deep and sophisticated Antimatter Blue over a signature Java leather interior, it carries the unmistakable King Ranch identity. With desirable options like the FX4 Off-Road Package, 360-degree camera system, and onboard power generation, this truck is equally suited for demanding job sites or long-distance hauling in comfort.
This 1930 Ford Model A Pickup has been thoughtfully reimagined as a street rod, combining nearly a century-old design with dependable V8 power and modern driving comfort. Showing just 421 miles since its build, this example presents as a fresh and well-executed custom that’s ready to be enjoyed immediately. The classic Model A silhouette remains intact, but underneath, it benefits from a proven Chevrolet 350ci V8 and automatic transmission, making it far more usable in today’s world. With upgrades like power steering, air conditioning, and a refreshed interior, this truck delivers vintage charm without the compromises typically associated with pre-war vehicles.

DeSoto is an American brand that you’ve likely never heard of, especially if you were born in the 1970s or later. Formed in 1912, it subsequently became a Chrysler Corporation marque, and was seen up to 1961. Based in Auburn, Indiana, DeSoto was known for creating well-built automobiles, as well as trucks. Today, we have a 1931 DeSoto S-13 for sale from Upland, California. This 109,000-mile vintage car comes with a 6-cylinder engine, a stick shift, and the owner’s manual as well. Hence, its ideal for someone who wishes to collect quirky American vintage cars from defunct brands – and such people are very important because they help preserve long-forgotten bits of our country’s grand automotive history!
