Vehicle Description
Expertly restored to original condition, this 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan
has been recognized as a true cut-above classic. So look over all
the details, but don't take too long, because rarely will there
ever be a V8 classic this authentic that will ever be within
reach.
This '40 Ford not only looks amazing, but also it has been
certified as amazing... and we have the paperwork to prove it!
After this car finished its rotisserie restoration, it went to The
Early Ford V8 Club of America's meet. We have the sheet that it
scored 987 of 1,000 and was given the Dearborn Award. So yes, this
classic really is as impressive as it looks in the pictures. Long
gone were the days when Henry Ford only offered a car only in
black, and this era-correct Sahara Sand is a bright reminder of
this more individual spirit. It looks absolutely terrific, as you'd
expect from such an award winner. The great gloss highlights the
iconic curves of the 1940 Ford. And all the brightwork that make
these such a star is still in place. The bumpers shine brightly;
the grille has a powerful Art Deco V-shape; and the trim runs like
an unbroken line from the tip of the hood all the way until it
follows the curve of the rear fender. It's all finished off with
the proper whitewall tires and two-piece Ford Deluxe wheel
covers.
Just like the exterior, you can tell there was an investment inside
in keeping this Ford feeling like a time warp. The beige cloth on
the seats gives you some added comfort, and the correct ribbed
pattern coordinates nicely with the door panels. The dual-spoke
steering wheel feels grippy in your hands, and it gives you a clear
view at the dash panel and correct Deluxe gauges. We know you want
this car because of its authenticity, and so you'll love seeing
everything from the heater under the dash, to the to the correct AM
radio still cranking out tunes.
When you open the hood, you'll find a correct 221 cubic-inch
Flathead V8. The total package with the tall air cleaner, carb,
dual hoses, and all those bolts on the flathead really keep up this
one feeling like a time machine. And best of all, the investment
went beyond just appearance. So this one has been maintained to be
one of the smoothest running flatheads you'll find today. On the
road, the column-mounted three-speed manual transmission shifts
easily, and it provides good power for getting to gatherings with
ease (there's even a car bra so you won't be picking bugs out of
the grille when you arrive!)
The whole build, including the undercarriage photos, proves the
meticulousness of this '40 Ford. The sale even comes with the build
receipts, Dearborn Award, and plenty of valuable paperwork. More
than just a great value, this is a great presentation of history.
