Ford’s successful line-up of cars in the Thirties included the 1937 refresh, known as the 1937 Ford. This line-up was extensive, and included coupes, convertibles, pickup trucks, sedans, station wagons and utility variants, with choices of Standard or Deluxe trim levels. Over eighty years later, these vehicles are popular with the restomod, as well as purist community. This 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible is one such example that would appeal to the latter. It shows just 9,750 miles and appears to be a lovingly restored example that’s in stunning condition, ripe for a collector or vintage Ford lover to splash out on.
The iconic design of Thirties and Forties Fords created a distinctive image that is popularly seen in gangster films of the period. Nevertheless, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible looks more appropriate to star in a homely flick, driven by a gent or lady of stature. Draped in a maroon paintwork, it features a contrasting tan top that’s said to be newly installed, and the requisite whitewall tires which are reportedly fresh. All chrome work and badging appear to be present and correct, and in pristine condition to boot, and the sealed-beam headlamps which were introduced in 1940 showcase their clear lenses, along with similarly pristine tail lamps. A peek at the undercarriage reveals a similarly clean outlook. The interior features a tan color theme with two low-back seats for driver and front passenger, and a similarly low-back bench for rear seat occupants. Two would be the comfortable number of medium-sized adults for the rear seat, as these vehicles were narrower than their contemporary counterparts. The dash looks fantastic, with the analog clock ahead of the passenger. This example is also reported to be radio ready should you desire to install one.
Ford’s famous flathead V8 powers this 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible, fed by a single twin-throat carburetor. The 221ci unit reportedly put out 85hp which was impressive for the time. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission. This car also sports front independent suspension and four-wheel drum brakes which are reportedly fresh.

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.

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.
