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 exterior of this particular Deluxe fits the bill with many other Fords that came out of the production line at the time. Featuring the vintage feel of a car from the 1920s, with a design that is visibly evolving into the likes we see in the 1960s with the retro aesthetic, this Deluxe has an appearance that appeals to elements of both eras. The black exterior is a classic choice, and the minimal badging and branding is a welcome piece of tasteful exterior design. The long swooping lines and spacious body of the Deluxe create an unmistakable silhouette, and with its more modern five-spoke wheels and 9-inch rear end with plenty of chrome to go around, this car is a sight to behold. Climbing inside, you'll find yourself with a distinctly different interior that has undergone some changes. The passengers now have bucket seats, cup holders, and a new stereo system with a CD player, according to the current owner. There are even power windows installed as an upgrade for further convenience.
With a rebuilt 350ci Chevrolet engine paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, this Ford Deluxe has plenty of pep in its step. In addition, the car has undergone a recent tune-up according to the current owner. An oil change has also been recently done, according to the current owner, and if you were worried about handling, rest assured that the new KYB shocks and struts, new brake pads, front disk brakes, and rear drum brakes are more than adequate.

The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more.

The Ford Model A was the model that succeeded the Model T. Well, there was actually a Model A built in 1903 as Ford’s first-ever car but only 1,750 examples were made before the Model T made its debut and revolutionized the auto industry to this day. When the Model T was due for retirement, guess what took over in 1927. Another Model A! This second iteration ran until 1932, with over 4.8 million sold by the time the 1932 Ford line-up was revealed with its three derivatives.
