Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1940 Ford Convertible for
your consideration. It is powered by a Flathead V8 which is mated
to a 3-speed manual transmission. At the time it was deemed more
luxurious to have a column-mounted shifter, so Ford relocated the
shifter from the floor to the column to attract deep-pocketed
customers.
The 1930s and '40s Fords are well known for their elegant lines and
extravagant appearances. This example comes finished in a beautiful
Burgundy paint over a beautiful leather interior. The tan soft top
is in spectacular condition and can be lowered for pleasant
top-down cruising. All chrome trim and accent pieces are in good
condition as are the steel bumpers.
Ford Motor Company introduced its DeLuxe Ford line in 1938 as a
more luxurious option to bridge the gap between its standard model
and the luxury options offered through Lincoln. The "Deluxe" name
was used occasionally before and after this to specify a higher
level trim, but the DeLuxe Ford line was differentiated as a
separate model within a model with separate styling and pricing
through 1940. The convertible models that were made were always
graced with the DeLuxe package and gave those who had the extra
money for the enjoyment of a drop-top model the extra features
standard. 1940 also marked the first time that Ford moved its
3-Speed manual shifter from the floor to the steering column as
that became a more desirable feature to the market of this time.

convertible. Please call or email with any questions or for
