Vehicle Description
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 phaeton, club coupe, and convertible club
coupe models were discontinued. 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.
