Hot rod builder Ray Brown's cars are known for their simplicity,
stance and bulletproof reliability. This 1940 Ford is no exception.
Starting with a rust-free, California car, Ray stripped it down to
the component parts and began a truly stunning build. The goal was
to create a car that's exterior and interior were as close to
original looking as a Street Rod can be while providing modern
performance and ride.
Under the hood lies a 350c.i. Chevy Crate V8 paired with a Turbo
350 automatic transmission, delivering smooth power through a Ford
8" rear end with a 2.79:1 ratio. The rust-free California body,
painted in sophisticated Ford Cloud Mist Grey, is all steel and
accented by original-style LeBaron Bonney interior.
The sedan's TCI independent front suspension, power rack and pinion
steering, and power disc brakes provide comfortable handling, while
a Dakota Digital cruise control system and discreet Custom
AutoSound stereo with A/C controls add convenience. Powder-coated
frame and suspension components enhance durability, and Wheel
Vintiques steel wheels with Ford hubcaps complete the classic
look.
Some customs are built for static shock and awe, and some are built
to become stoplight to stoplight legends, but this '40 Ford, with
the help of Ray Brown's vision, was built to be a timeless styled
streetrod that performs as reliably and comfortable as a modern day
car, while also collecting trophies at every cruise night. - If you
are looking for a stylish streetrod that is an absolute joy to
drive, give us a call today to make this one yours!
