This 1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan is like turning back the clock. It was restored to make sure you'll love everything from the glossy paint, to the pinstripe cloth interior, to the Flathead V8 power under the hood. So dig into the details on this time capsule classic.


There is a reason many of us cherish the '39 Fords. They got the style just right when an update that gave a more dignified look to the teardrop front end and waterfall grille. It was no doubt inspired by its premium sibling at Lincoln, and it meant that the every-man car now can with extra pride. That's why they took their time restoring this example from 1990 to 1992. Plus, this is believed to have a personal story where one of its long-term owners learned to drive in this sedan as a young man, and then he bought it back years later from a neighbor. So it accounts for why it has been treated with so much respect since that you'd almost swear they finished the restoration last year. The chrome shine like mirrors; the trim is straight and complete; the burgundy paint has a nice gloss; and there are terrific details, like the two-piece wheel trim with whitewalls. And because the panels fit so nicely together, you'll love showing off the suicide door style of this sedan.


In fact, you know that swinging both the front and rear doors wide at a car show is just like a beacon inviting people over. Because of this, they made sure the interior looks fantastic, too. The gray pinstripe cloth is like sitting in a Zoot Suit. Plus, the carpeting and door panels coordinate nicely. The wood painted trim on the doors and dash let this Ford live up to its Deluxe name. Just like the exterior, you'll love the details on everything from the working heater below the dash to the dealer tag just to the side of the gauge package.


Besides the styling, Ford's Flathead is a big reason for this car's desirability. They delivered the extra power that got America hooked on V8s. So not only did this receive plenty of attention during the restoration, but it's also believed to still be the original motor to the car. It has a great stock look, right down to the oil bath air topper and six-volt system. The way this fires up and runs smoothly further reaffirms how special this example is. And the floor-shifted three-speed manual transmission gives you full control of this V8 powerhouse.
