In 1937, Ford introduced its latest array of passenger and light commercial vehicles simply named the 1937 Ford. Available in Standard or Deluxe form, what was called the 1937 Ford would in fact continue for four model years before the 1941 Ford took over. A slew of body styles was offered, including two-door coupe and convertible, two-door one-ton pickup truck, two or four-door sedan, two or four-door station wagon (the Woodie), and two-door van. Incremental upgrades and facelifts were introduced each year. What we’ve got for you here is a 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible from Connecticut that’s actually a tasteful resto-mod, combining the vintage styling with some modern conveniences. It’s done just 16,500 miles and awaits its next lucky owner.
Exterior and Interior
Thirties Fords came with characteristic styling that can’t be mistaken for any other. 1939 saw the lowering of the front grille for the Deluxe trim, whilst the Standard trim retained the higher front grille of 1937 and 1938. This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible looks stunning in its Metallic Silver paint job and rolls on a set of chromed Boyd alloy wheels. The body is reportedly all-steel with original panels and sits on a ‘Fat Man’ chassis. You’ve also probably noticed that it cuts a lower and meaner stance, due to the suspension upgrades described in the next section. The convertible top is in a contrasting shade of black. The interior sports a light gray color scheme and seats two people on gray leather-trimmed seats under the convertible top, while a further two can be accommodated in the exposed ‘rumble seat’ which is situated at the rear where the trunk would be. These seating options give this vehicle a seating capacity of up to 6. The dash in this resto-mod is from a 1956 Oldsmobile, and it’s endowed with digital instrumentation from Dakota Digital, as well as Vintage Air AC and heating.
Engine
When new, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible will have sported a 221ci Ford ‘Flathead’ V8 and three-speed, sliding-mesh manual transmission, but this resto-mod has seen the powertrain replaced with a Chevrolet ZZ4 350ci crate motor driving the rear wheels via a 700R4 Turbo-Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission and 8-inch Ford rear end. While the original Flathead put out 85hp, the crate motor kicks out a much more substantial 350hp and sings its song through a Magnaflow exhaust. An MSD ignition, Mallory distributor and an aluminum radiator is also installed, as is power steering and power brakes, with disc brakes upfront. The front suspension with coil-over shocks are from a Ford Mustang II, whilst an Air Ride system with air shocks are present at the rear.
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.
This 1939 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Street Rod brings together classic prewar Ford styling, custom hot-rod craftsmanship, and a notable build pedigree. Showing approximately 20,140 miles, this example was built by Boyd Coddington and featured on American Hot Rod, giving it a level of provenance that sets it apart from a typical custom street rod. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and automatic transmission. Additional highlights include a shaved body, Mustang II front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes, Boyd Coddington wheels, and a reupholstered interior.
The 1939 Ford Deluxe Business Coupe remains one of the most recognizable pre-war American coupes, prized for its sweeping fenders, streamlined styling, and timeless hot rod appeal. This example has been transformed into a beautifully finished street rod that blends classic Ford styling with modern comfort and dependable V8 performance. Showing just 8,532 miles, this custom build features a 350ci V8 backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, along with thoughtful upgrades that make it equally suited for weekend cruising, local car shows, or long-distance road trips. Its striking custom Silver and Maroon paint scheme, upgraded interior, and extensive list of modern amenities make this Ford an eye-catching and enjoyable classic.
This 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat combines the comfort-oriented Lariat trim with a useful collection of mechanical, suspension, lighting, and audio upgrades. Showing approximately 43,824 miles, this example is accompanied by documented maintenance history and has been updated with a K&N cold air intake, true dual Flowmaster exhaust, Bilstein suspension, 33-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires, and four-wheel drive. The current owner also reports recent spark plug service and a comprehensive fluid service, adding to the appeal of this thoughtfully updated F-150.
This 1991 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 has been comprehensively modified into a serious street-oriented Fox Body build. Showing approximately 62,666 miles, it is finished in Vibrant Red over a Black interior and centers around a Vortech-supercharged 5.0-liter V8 paired with an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine setup includes an Anderson B31 camshaft, Holley Systemax intake, 80mm mass air meter, Anderson 3-inch power pipe, Accufab 75mm throttle body, upgraded injectors and fuel system, while the drivetrain benefits from a 2,400 RPM stall converter, street/strip valve body, TransGo shift kit, and Ford Performance 3.73 gears. Bilstein shocks, Steeda lowering springs, Team Z steering hardware, Black Widow exhaust, multiple wheel sets, and a modernized audio system round out a build that goes well beyond the typical bolt-on Fox Body.
This 1971 Ford Bronco takes the early Bronco formula in a much more aggressive direction, combining classic first-generation styling with a heavily modified off-road build. Showing approximately 110 miles, it is finished in a custom Silver & Red exterior with flame graphics and rides dramatically higher thanks to a 2-inch body lift and 6-inch suspension lift. Its equipment includes 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, aftermarket alloy wheels, a custom-built roll cage, Corbeau bucket seats with racing harnesses, a twin-stick Dana 20 transfer case, and a 23-gallon fuel tank. The result is a Bronco configured with serious trail-oriented hardware and a very distinctive custom presentation.
