For Sale at Auction: 1940 Ford Deluxe in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1940 Ford Deluxe convertible has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration to bring it back to its original condition. Under the hood, the Flathead V8 was rebuilt with an eye toward an original look and includes correct componentry and colors, and the finishes were carefully chosen to look as they did in 1940. Dual exhaust pipes are routed through the frame and out the back bumper and features period-correct exhaust deflectors. This engine is backed by a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission. The entire chassis of the car was stripped back to bare metal and painted in gloss black, and all of the suspension was rebuilt. The brake system was completely rebuilt and the 4-wheel drum brakes work as they should. The car rolls on a correct set of 16-inch steel wheels with chrome trim rings, deluxe center caps and wide whitewall tires. On the outside, the car is finished in a shade of Garnet Maroon that is period-correct with laser-straight all-steel bodywork, panel gaps and a paint finish. The top is finished in tan canvas with maroon piping that matches the exterior of the car. On the inside, the dashboard is two-tone maroon and "Rose Sand" and is complete with an AM radio. The seats have all been reupholstered, and the rubber floor mat rounds out the original appearance of the vehicle.
