Overview of 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.

1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod

Current Ask
$69,900

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.
