Overview of 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.

1930 Ford Model A Coupe Street Rod

Current Ask
$55,000

This 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Street Rod is the kind of build that rewards a closer look, because the craftsmanship underneath is every bit as important as the period hot-rod silhouette above it. Showing approximately 1,788 miles, this custom rotisserie-built coupe pairs a 350ci Goodwrench V8 crate engine with GM electronic fuel injection and a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, giving the car the response and reliability of a much newer setup without taking away from its traditional street-rod character. The chassis has been thoroughly reworked with a custom fully boxed frame, Ford 9-inch rear end, rack-and-pinion steering, power front disc brakes, and rear 4-link suspension with coilovers. Finished in two-tone Gray and Silver over a Gray and Charcoal interior, it also wears Magnum 500 wheels with Coker Classic whitewalls and carries a red-accented undercarriage that turns the underside into part of the show.

1932 Ford Model 18 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

Current Ask
$74,700

This 1932 Ford Model 18 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is an all-steel, heavily customized build that combines authentic early-Ford architecture with the unmistakable performance character of a 1969 Corvette-sourced 427ci Big-Block Chevrolet V8. Showing approximately 6,977 miles, the car was conceived as a one-of-one creation rather than a conventional street rod, with virtually every major component selected or engineered around its distinctive combination of vintage Henry Ford steel and big-block Chevrolet power. Its all-steel 1932 Ford 5-window body has been given a dramatic 4-inch roof chop, producing the low, aggressive profile at the heart of the build, while the fenderless front end, exposed suspension, deep-dish Cragar S/S wheels, front skinnies, and substantial rear performance rubber reinforce its traditional hot-rod attitude. Beneath the body is a custom fully boxed aftermarket frame designed to cope with the torque of the 427, backed by a heavy-duty TH400 automatic and Ford 9-inch rear axle. According to the seller, the car has also received significant publicity and attracted attention from collectors, further separating it from the typical home-built street rod.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.
