Vehicle Description
Here is an automobile that isn't just a bona fide classic, it's a
throwback to a significant time in our nation's history. The 1941
Ford Super Deluxe was among the last of the iconic pre-war
American-made cars. Climb aboard and take a little trip into our
past. This is a ride you'll never forget!
Black was the predominant exterior color 75 years ago, and this
four-door sedan definitely embraces the look of its day. In fact,
the appearance of this proud machine has remained remarkably true
to its era. The paint has plenty of shine and shows well with no
major flaws. You'll find a few minor chips, swirls and touch-up
spots here and there, but rest assured, it's an above average
finish by virtually any standard. An all steel body bespeaks the
sturdy construction that was the hallmark of the auto industry back
then. This car isn't just heavy, it's heavy duty. And how about
those suicide doors? Aren't they cool? Those things have fascinated
car lovers for generations. All of the Super Deluxe chrome trim is
present and in very nice condition. There is no cracked glass and
the seals are intact.
Inside, the tan upholstery serves as a really nice earth-tone
complement to the ebony hues that punctuate the overall color
scheme. You'll be pleased with the condition of the seats, carpet
and headliner. They are all in really good shape. There are a few
imperfections that leave the interior just short of pristine
condition. For instance, the door panel material is wrinkled and
sagging just a bit. Also, the wood on the dash is showing some age
and the interior chrome is lightly pitted. But given the overall
appearance of the interior, these are only slight flaws and could
be remedied fairly easily. If you're looking at the overall
appearance, this sedan scores very well across the board.
Sitting between the fender wells is the iconic Flathead V8 engine.
Is there a more legendary power source in the entire history of the
automobile? This isn't the original engine, mind you. It was
upgraded with what's thought to be a late '40s version of the 100
H.P. Mercury motor. It has been beefed-up with a pair of
precision-tuned "94" two-barrel carburetors and an Isky 3/4 Street
cam, always one of the most popular camshafts for the flathead.
Headers, a Mallory distributor and MSD coil are just a few of the
other add-ons you'll find under the hood. This flathead starts
easily every time and sounds really strong as its power resonates
through a dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. A three-speed
manual transmission is the second step in the drive train. While
some of these vintage cars were geared extremely low from the
factory, the differential gearing in this Ford has been changed to
a more moderate ratio that's a realistic choice for normal driving
conditions. You'll enjoy a little added peace of mind knowing that
the former owner of this car was a stickler for routine
maintenance. The gas tank and fuel lines have been replaced, and it
also has new front brakes, a new battery, new radial tires, and an
electric fan. The vast majority of any needed work has already been
done. That should make your life a little easier!
This time-tested '41 Ford sedan really lives up to its Deluxe
moniker. It was cars like this that inspired the phrase, "They
don't make 'em like they used to." Drive this one and you'll agree.
