ROD, READY TO ENJOY An iconic design and one of the most visually
striking of all automobile lines of the immediate pre-World War II
era, the 1939 Ford models were among the final and finest
expressions of the brilliant design partnership of company
president Edsel B. 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. Ample power is delivered by a Mercury
V-8, fortified with dual Stromberg carburetors, Edelbrock cylinder
heads, and a great-sounding dual exhaust system. A proper 3-speed
manual transmission and Columbia 2-speed rear end deliver the
power. If the Flathead V-8s exhaust sound is not enough, the
venerable Ford is equipped with a hidden infotainment system
featuring Bluetooth connectivity. A fresh clutch service and
detailing make this great prewar Ford ready to drive and enjoy. In
addition to an owners manual, the Ford is also accompanied by a
large box of documentation including service files. A true piece of
hot rod history, this 1939 Ford DeLuxe Fordor simply must be seen.
