This all-steel 1940 Ford Deluxe is powered by the 24-stud 221/85 HP Flathead V-8 engine with a downdraft carburetor and dual exhausts. This would mark the first year for the column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission, which was supposed to create passenger space by moving the shifter from the floor to the column.
