For Sale: 1942 Ford 2-Dr Sedan in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1942 Ford Super Deluxe Tudor sedan is truly a special machine. It was part of the very limited model year that was cut short by WWII, and today it has been turned into an all-American hot rod with every convenience you could ever want.


This is the perfect car to have turned into a distinctive custom machine. After all, you already have a better story to tell thanks to the rarity of a 1942 civilian production car. And the distinction goes further than just timelines thanks to the unique grille that's a mid-point between the 1941 car's three-piece setup, and the post-war wide single-piece grille. And that's not the only piece of brightwork you'll love. Mirror-like bumpers, cool classic badging, and the full-length trim strip are just some of the other standout elements of this classic. But what really has you hooked are all the custom touches. The yellow looks exceptionally bright thanks to a modern clearcoat application; the taillights are bright, too, thanks to LEDs; and the more modern 15-inch S-10 alloys are a nice hint at the other upgrades beneath the skin.


Inside is a custom tan and tweed interior that will leave you wanting for nothing. The front buckets have an attractive custom pattern. So they're great to sit in, and look terrific whenever someone peeks their head inside. And with the matching side panels, headliner, carpeting and trunk, this is one well-coordinated total package. Plus, you get all the best features, including power windows, power locks, and cold air conditioning running modern R134a. The driver gets a cool banjo-style sports steering wheel with wood surround mounted on a tilt column. Beyond that is the classic dashboard with modern VDO gauges replacing the old readouts.


Under the hood is a trusty 350 cubic-inch V8. It has been enhanced with go-fast goodies like a Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, MSD ignition, and shorty headers. And while you'll love the performance sound of the glasspack-style dual exhaust, there is much more to this build. For example, you have a three-speed automatic transmission for easy cruising. And there's even a Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan so this one can stay running cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. Plus, the Mustang II-style independent front suspension, power steering, and front disc brakes are terrific any time you want to drive this classic.


Complete with restoration photos, it's a standout custom cruiser with a story to tell. So don't let something this unique and obtainable slip away, call today!
