Whether you’re a collector, weekend cruiser, or simply someone who appreciates timeless design, this coupe delivers the perfect combination of authenticity, comfort, and reliability.
The body of this coupe is all-steel, true to Henry Ford’s original vision, preserving the classic lines and craftsmanship that have made 1940 Fords a favorite among enthusiasts for generations. The fenders, hood, and panels all showcase the iconic flowing design of the era, and every curve has been respected to maintain the vintage aesthetic while integrating subtle enhancements for today’s driving experience.
Under the hood, you’ll find a Chevrolet 350 Tuned Port fuel-injected engine paired with a GM automatic transmission.

The car stops confidently with four-wheel disc brakes, and the Mustang front and rear suspension provides modern handling precision, a significant improvement over the original suspension design, giving the driver both comfort and control on any road.
Exterior enhancements are tastefully done to retain the car’s classic presence while improving functionality and drivability. Aluminum wheels fitted with modern radial tires give the coupe a balanced stance and improve handling without detracting from its vintage charm.
Inside, the coupe has been thoughtfully upgraded for comfort and convenience while keeping a period-correct feel. The all-leather interior is supple and luxurious, complemented by power front windows, a tilt steering column, and stock-style gauges that maintain the classic cockpit look. Additional features include vintage-style heating for cooler drives, remote door openers, and a remote battery disconnect for security and peace of mind. Every interior detail has been considered to provide a blend of authenticity, usability, and modern luxury.
This coupe is more than just a showpiece—it’s a driver’s car. Whether heading to a car show, enjoying a weekend cruise, or simply appreciating the artistry of classic automotive design, this 1940 Ford Standard Coupe is ready to deliver an unforgettable experience.
