Vehicle Description
The 1940 Ford Deluxe Sedan is a true pre-WWII icon. With flathead
V8 power and a sleek style, they are a true treat. So as you look
over all the details on this quite correct example, you soon
realize how much nostalgia it packs for quite an obtainable
price.
There was an investment in the burgundy paint, and it suites this
two-door sedan perfectly. It's a sophisticated hue for a dignified
classic. Plus, the high level of gloss lets the shine roll evenly
off of some of our favorite elements, like the large fenders, tall
roof, and aerodynamic rear. This had some absolutely terrific
bright work with the pointed grille, artful headlight surrounds,
and the rounded bumpers with intricate detail work. Plus, the way
the side trim runs from head to tail like an unbroken line tell you
about the quality of the body. And we especially love the correct
two-piece Ford Deluxe wheel covers with details like the
color-matched steel wheels and whitewall tires.
Inside there was an investment while retaining the original style.
The exterior burgundy returns on the metal parts, and no it's
joined by a comfortable tan on the seats, door panels, and
carpeting. We like the classic texture of the cloth seat, and you
can feel the investment simply because something that was nearly 80
years-old could never be this comfortable. This is a true vintage
experience with the correct Deluxe-style gauges, art deco dash, and
even the clock was correctly repaired. The dual spoke steering
wheel retains the groves of its lifetime, so you can feel the
generations of drivers that came before you.
There's just something great about the appearance of Ford's
Flathead V8. The parallel radiator piping gives this motor a very
powerful presentation. It has been serviced correctly - including a
new water pump, electrical work, belt, solenoid, and much more in
2017 (call for all the details.) And yes, this has been converted
to 12 volts and an alternator for easy driving in modern times.
While we know you won't be using this Ford as a hot rod, the
glasspack-style dual exhaust and column-shifted three-speed manual
really let you understand the full power behind this V8.
This classic '40 Ford makes every day behind the wheel feel like
Sunday. So don't miss out on a great classic. Call today!
