Good looking example of a real 1940 Ford Deluxe convertible. Solid
car from down south.
EXTERIOR: Clean steel body. It is an older paint job and there are
no problem areas showing- no bubbles or damage. The paint shows
very well, smooth and glossy. Up close you may find flaws. Extra
features include grill guard, wing tips on the bumpers, locking gas
cap, dual mirrors and dual spot lights. The wheels have Deluxe trim
and Firestone white walls. The black cloth convertible top is
excellent. It has maroon piping.
INTERIOR: Inside is very well preserved, I actually think the
genuine leather upholstery is original. The door panels look like
they've been replaced. The dash area is nice. The temperature, oil
pressure and fuel gauges work. Speedo works. It has the correct
rubber mats in front with carpet in the back.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The flathead V-8, 221 ci, 85 hp motor is
believed to be rebuilt. It runs smooth, the paint looks fresh,
bolts are clean. The entire compartment looks very nice. Fuel pump
is new. Upgraded to a 12 volt electrical system with a battery
disconnect. The generator is upgraded with alternator internals.
The dual note trumpet horns work. The firewall and under the hood
are painted nicely. The wiring looks real good. It has an electric
fan in front to help keep it cool.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has an original Ford script mat. The side
panels are in tact. It has a white wall and painted rim with deluxe
trim for a spare. Under the trunk lid is painted. The weather strip
was replaced.
UNDERSIDE: Overall the underside of this car is very clean. All the
metal has a smooth, satin black finish. The components look clean,
bottom of the motor is clean and painted dark green. Starter looks
fresh. It has a 3-speed manual trans and the banjo style rear end.
New dual exhaust with glasspack style mufflers. Fuel tank was
replaced.
The 40 Ford is one of those milestone cars. It was and is a very
popular car for hot rodders and purists. This is a good ole
original example!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
