Vehicle Description
This 1940 Ford Tudor Deluxe Sedan is a fully upgraded machine that
also like to keep its vintage flair. So while they made investments
in the V8 power, suspension, and A/C interior, there's also that
unmistakable look of playing to your nostalgia with its bright
chrome and glossy paint.
The Tudor body has a fastback sort of style that looks absolutely
classic while still having a modern sporty appeal. So the burgundy
paint works perfectly with this car's timeless appeal. It's a color
that looks right for the 1940s, but it also has the deep gloss of a
fresher clearcoat application. This well-presented style centers
around the car's full frame-off restoration from about 20 years
ago, and when you pay for quality, it lasts. After all, that's
classic steel from the Henry Ford era, but you know it never looked
this good leaving Dearborn. You'll love the details, like the shine
of the hallmark pointed grille. The chrome bumpers and stainless
trim have the kind of shine that shows there's been some real care.
Plus, there's plenty of great street machine touches, like the
half-chrome headlights, bright dual exhaust tips, and the classic
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with iconic wide whitewalls.
The tan interior has more of that timeless appeal, and it looks
especially good against the burgundy exterior. So we're glad they
painted the door tops and dash to match the outside. More of this
thoughtful layout is in how the seating has a classic 1940s style
but feels unmistakably fresh from a proper investment. And those
four-lines that accent the upholstery are repeated on the doors for
a very uniform look throughout. An upgraded classic like this is
great to share with family and friends, and there's cold-blowing
air conditioning to keep them all happy. Even the glass was
replaced during the restoration. This also has some of the best
driver upgrades with a Lecarra sports steering wheel mounted on a
tilt column, a Lokar floor shifter, an upgraded set of crisp VDO
gauges, and a SunPro tach under the dash.
Since the rest of the car is built to show off, you'll be happy to
see the engine bay is, too. That Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8 has been
given plenty of shine on the polished air cleaner, valve covers,
pulleys, and plenty of other components. This quality appearance
further proves the careful work on this car. In fact, this small
block was rebuilt during the restoration, including new pistons and
rings. It's also got the performance substance of an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and shorty headers. This
well-built V8 makes a nice rumble out of the dual exhaust. And as
you check out those pipes in the undercarriage photos, you see more
of the clean work that goes into a total restoration. You may also
spot nice upgrades, like the Heidts independent front suspension
and the Chassis Engineering rear suspension. So you'll be happy to
take this solid classic out cruising any time, especially features
like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed
automatic transmission.
The sale comes complete with title documentation and classic Ford
literature. This is the upgraded Ford that loves its history. So if
you love to drive and love pre-war nostalgia, you know this one is
exactly right for you. Call today!!!
