The 1942 Fords were redesigned with fully concealed running boards
plus new front fenders and hood sheet metal. A new grille design
featured a narrow center section in conjunction with side grilles
considerably larger and more squared off than previous. The Super
Deluxe grille had its brightwork accentuated by blue painted
grooves. Used only on these top of the line Fords were front and
rear bumpers with ridges along their upper surface. The super
DeLuxe script was now positioned just below the left headlight. The
taillights on all models were now horizontally positioned but only
those on the Super DeLuxe has bright trim plates. Also unique to
Super DeLuxe Fords were bright trim surrounds for the windshield,
rear window and side windows. Wheel covers were pained to match
body color and carried three stripes. Trim rings were standard.
Interior features included an electric clock, left front door
armrests, a steering wheel with a full circle horn ring and crank
operated front vent windows. The instrument panel was finished in
Sequoia grain. Assist cords were installed on sedan and sedan coupe
models.
Common to all 1942 Fords was a revised frame design that was lower
by one inch than the 1941 version, lower and wider leaf springs, a
two inch wider tread and dual lateral stabilizer bars. DeLuxe
models were equipped with the bumpers used for the 1941 Super
DeLuxe Ford models. Their grille frames were painted body color.
Unique to the DeLuxe Ford was its center grille panel with "DeLuxe"
spelled out vertically in bright letters before a blue background.
Wheel covers were painted to match body color. The DeLuxe
instrument panel was finished in Crackle Mahogany grain.
