What was so outstanding about the 1941 Fords introduced in late September 1940? First, there was the new ride – softer and smoother than ever before. The Ford 41 offered a longer wheelbase, longer spring-base, faster acceleration, new seat construction, new rigid frame, new body mounting, and improved shocks. They were much more modern with a wide body that nearly covered the running boards. The front and rear fenders were still pronounced, but now integrated more into the body and the headlights were pushed all the way up and out over the front wheels. The 1941 grille was a three-part affair with a tall center section bookended by twin kidneys low on the fenders and vertical bars all around. Body styles included two-door and four-door sedans, a sedan coupe, a business coupe, and convertible coupe, sedan delivery wagon, and woody station wagon. The three trim levels were the special, the DeLuxe, and the top of the line Super Deluxe. Ford produced 31,589 Style 11A-76 1941 Super Deluxe Convertibles. The automatic top is operated by electric motors instead of a vacuum and operated even when the engine is not running. The wide, comfortable rear sat makes this an all-weather car for six passengers.
This iconic and desirable Convertible is well equipped, attractive in presentation, and with a great color combination. It is in great shape and runs as good as it looks. It is believed to be a California car having lived in Oakland, Visalia, and Irvine for at least the last 40 years.
