Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas welcomes this 1941 Ford Super Deluxe
Convertible! The Ford car was thoroughly updated in 1941, in
preparation for a time of unpredictability surrounding World War
II. The 1941 design would continue in an aborted 1942 model year
and would be restarted in 1946 and produced until 1948 when the
more modern 1949 Fords were ready. During the initial year of this
car, it evolved considerably. The front fenders came in three
pieces, the theory being that small damages could be replaced
easily. During the year, it evolved into two pieces with the lower
front and back sections being joined. The hood risers changed, the
early ones being the same as 1940 Fords, changing during the year
to the better later version. The 1941 Convertible had no rear side
windows, the only side windows being in the doors; This is thought
to be the first Ford to offer an oil filter. It had an excellent
radio, which could consume the battery in about two hours. Electric
windshield wipers were available in addition to the vacuum-powered
wipers. It had excellent brakes and among the best handling of
ordinary cars of the time. It served a transitional role in Ford's
lineup The "ignition key" for these cars was actually used to
operate a bolt lock which, on one end, unlocked the steering column
(a feature destined to return, mandated, decades later), and on the
other end unblocked the ignition switch, allowing it to be
operated. Starting the car was then accomplished by pressing a
pushbutton on the dashboard. the Flathead 85HP V8 with 3 Speed
Manual on the column is a delight to drive, as she will cruise at
60 without issue. This Beautiful Maroon on Maroon Deluxe is in
excellent condition and is available in our Dallas Showroom. It can
be seen in greater detail including 100+ HD pictures and a HD video
