Gateway Classic Cars Dallas is proud 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 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. 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
