Vehicle Description

INTRODUCTION: The '39 Ford by Coast to Coast is one of the slickest interpretations you'll come across- taking the original vision and elevating it into something far more modern and refined. This one in particular was built to a very high show quality standard!

EXTERIOR: The body is a work of art, with flowing, curvaceous lines and a futuristic edge. Every panel is smooth giving it a seamless, sculpted appearance. The doors open by remote, adding to the clean, uncluttered look. The Tangerine Candy metallic paint is absolutely stunning, laid out evenly and buffed to a deep, glass like gloss. It's a bold color that perfectly complements the car's dramatic design. Up front, the signature "angel wing" chrome grilles are paired with teardrop headlights that cleverly house concealed turn signals behind Ford script lenses. It's equipped with power windows, sport mirrors, and a removable hardtop for versatility. Around back, the design is so clean you'll swear it has no taillights- until they illuminate. They're flush mounted and color matched, with a recessed license plate and a flush fuel door continuing the smooth theme. It sits just right on a set of Foose chrome wheels: 17s up front and 18s in back wrapped in Nitto performance tires.

INTERIOR: This is a first class interior, meticulously crafted by Steve Holcomb of Pro Custom Auto Interiors. The fit and finish are outstanding, tight, precise, and free of any wrinkles or imperfections. The door panels are beautifully designed, wrapped in leather with contrast stitching, accented by tasteful fabric inserts and unique chrome trim. The seats are done to match, tying the whole interior together with a cohesive, upscale look. A custom center console adds both style and function, featuring a sliding compartment that reveals cup holders and power window switches, with Vintage Air controls and a touchscreen infotainment system integrated at the front. Even the firewall area is boxed and upholstered, showing the level of detail throughout. The floor is dressed in premium carpet with matching mats with leather bound edges, while the headliner under the hardtop is finished to complement the rest of the interior. The dash is clean and uncluttered, with many controls cleverly hidden. A set of AutoMeter gauges keeps it functional, and the polished tilt column has a sharp looking steering wheel. The audio system is subtly integrated with speakers concealed behind custom chrome grilles. LED interior lighting adds a modern touch, and at six feet tall, there's still plenty of comfort and room inside. polished tilt column.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is a true showpiece! The LS1, built by Street & Performance, is dressed to impress with chrome and polished components throughout, including the intake. It's as much about presentation as it is performance. The front of the engine features a full serpentine system with polished pulleys, brackets, alternator, A/C compressor, and power steering with a remote reservoir- all neatly arranged and gleaming. It runs cool with a custom aluminum radiator, chrome shroud, electric fan, and a polished overflow bottle. Surrounding it all is a smoothed and glossy, body color engine bay that mirrors the quality of the exterior. It's detailed, deliberate, and executed at a very high level.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment is also beautifully executed by Steve Holcomb, finished to match the interior with the same level of precision. It's fully boxed and upholstered with a clean, carpeted floor, giving it a tailored, high-end appearance. A front compartment opens to access the polished fuel tank and other miscellaneous otems. It's supported by a stainless prop rod, and LED lighting automatically illuminates the space when opened, another thoughtful touch that highlights the craftsmanship throughout.

UNDERSIDE: This car is a true showpiece where craftsmanship and function come together with a brilliant, polished finish. The chassis and frame have been completely smoothed and painted in glossy body color, including the floors, creating a seamless, high end presentation. Just about everything else sparkles in chrome. Up front, it's equipped with chrome tubular upper and lower control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks, and a rack and pinion steering system. Out back is a four link suspension with polished tubular control arms and matching coilovers. The exhaust is a work of art- coated headers attach to an all stainless, TIG-welded, featuring polished resonators, an X-pipe, and MagnaFlow mufflers. It has drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four corners with polished billet calipers, and even the master cylinder and power booster are chromed. The fuel tank is painted to match the car for a clean, cohesive look. Looking up at the motor, it's spotless with an aluminum oil pan and high torque starter. The 4L60E overdrive automatic is just as detailed and includes a remote finned aluminum cooler. A painted driveshaft with polished billet U-joints connects to a heavy duty 9-inch rear end with 3.50 posi gears. It's not just clean- it's artfully executed and built to perform!

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: Mechanical jewelry keeps coming to mind when I'm describing this car. The attention to detail when it was built is very impressive. I've bought and sold several of these and seen many others, I would say this one is certainly one of the best. It is such an exotic looking car that will turn heads wherever you decide to take it!
