Gateway Classic Cars Dallas is pleased to offer This 1940 Ford
Sedan Deluxe that just hopped off the rotisserie and looks
outstanding both inside and out. Equipped with an upgraded modern
suspension, it's as well suited to handle the demands of modern
driving as it is to take on the competition on the show circuit.
Ford created its Deluxe line to cater to a growing demand for more
outwardly luxurious cars, and added some great styling touches in
their pursuit - the art-deco front grille, high set pair of rear
windows and dramatically curved rear roofline being obvious right
off. All that aesthetic panache is covered in black paint that's
been very recently applied with obvious great care and features a
strong clearcoat on top to produce a new-car shine. There's a lot
of impressive fresh chrome on display - the center panel of the
front grille, the teardrop shaped headlight casings whose custom
appearance belies their factory origin, and side trim that runs the
length of the car and seems to match the curvature of the roof life
as it ends in back. The thorough restoration has also left this
Ford with excellent glass on all four sides that's surrounded by
fresh rubber seals. It's just a great looking vintage sedan on all
accounts. The red leather interior is a driving environment you'll
definitely appreciate being surrounded by. The brand new bench
seating in front and back has yet to bear the weight of any
passengers on the road, so they still have a showroom appearance.
Top to bottom, back to front and side to side, there's a lot of
room inside this cabin, making for a very comfortable experience
out on the road - even tall passengers can stretch out in back.
There's also a lot of attention to detail shown, and the matching
door panels and headliner provide a very finished look. The dark
red dash area just beyond the chrome tilt column features an
inspired updating of its original configuration and very well
prepped steel that has a liquidy gloss to it. Aftermarket Dolphin
gauges look awesome in the textured chrome of the instrument
cluster, with their dark faces and vintage-looking font, and the
analog clock recessed into the passenger side glove box is a great
added detail. There's a pair of in-dash vents on each side to bring
the climate-controlled work of the Vintage Air into the cabin to
keep everyone comfortable. Raise the generously-sized deck lid in
back and you'll find a very spacious storage area lined with fresh
red carpeting. Mechanically speaking, this Ford features an array
of components that make it very well positioned to handle everyday
driving conditions in excellent fashion. A 350 cubic inch V8 sits
under the tapered hood, activated by a keyless lever inside the
cabin. It's ready for action, firing right up, sounding great and
looking right at home in its vintage compartment carrying its
chrome air cleaner on top. It pairs with a TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission that's also fresh, for a very road-ready drivetrain. A
modern front suspension, designed and built by Chassis Engineering,
Inc. sits below this stylish sedan, and it offers a level of design
unattainable in vintage form, with its power rack and pinion
steering, coilover front suspension and front disc brakes. This
pre-War classic sits on a set of 15" Moon Cap wheels with Ford
branded chrome centers, wearing Nexen tires in front and Cyclone
Radial GT tires in back. This 1940 Ford Sedan Deluxe has the visual
magnetism to turn heads on the street or at car shows and will be
an absolute blast to drive. Call today! This 1940 Ford is for sale
