1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible | Ardell Brown Classic Cars?www.ardellscars.com/1939-ford-deluxe-convertible/
This 1939 Ford Deluxe car has been treated to a full nut and bolt restoration and has excellent panel fit and finish.The brightwork and trim is breath taking. Options include, Ford script fog lamps, clock, banjo steering wheel and fender skirts.?The Ford's look was again modernized for 1939 ? the Deluxe used a low pointed grille with heavier vertical slats, while the standard Ford had a higher grille with horizontal dividers. The headlights (the example illustrated has been converted to '40 Ford sealed beam headlamps - '39s used bulb and reflector lamps, the last year for these) were moved farther apart, now sitting almost in front of the wheels. The side grilles and louvers were removed in favor of chrome strips on Deluxe models. The "alligator" hood opened deep from the top of the grille back, eliminating the side panels found on previous models.The engine was also revised for 1939 with downdraft carburetors widening the torque band but leaving power unchanged at 85?hp (63?kW). Hydraulic brakes were a major advancement across the Ford line.Ford's upscale Mercury line also bowed in 1939, filling the gap between the Deluxe Fords and the Lincoln-Zephyr line.
