Ford and former New York yacht designer Eugene T. Bob Gregorie. Once again offered for 1939 in Standard and DeLuxe trim, with the Standard line appearing much like the 1938 DeLuxe cars, Fords DeLuxe offerings for 1939 were distinguished by their much more modern overall appearance. Most noticeable among the refinements applied to the DeLuxe Fords for 1939 were Art Deco-style teardrop headlamps and a lowered V-shaped radiator grille with fine vertical bars. Simple chrome trim now replaced the former hood louvers and DeLuxe bodies also featured smoother profiles. The 1939 DeLuxe Fords also featured a modernistic Art Deco interior motif complementing the handsome body design. Underneath, newly available Lockheed-type hydraulic brakes, revised cylinder heads for the renowned flathead V-8 engine, and welcome detail improvements provided mechanical sophistication to match the visual beauty of the 39 Ford line.While some 532,000 Ford passenger cars were built during 1939, precious few survive today and quite likely, fewer still are as well-preserved and presented as this 1939 Ford DeLuxe Fordor a 4-door Sedan in Ford parlance. Benefiting from a meticulous restoration with virtually no expense spared, it once served as a push car for a dry lakes racecar, depicted in the book Hot Rods in the Forties.
