Vehicle Description
A high flat-topped hood was all the rage of this era and was very predominant of the 1940 model, as the grille spread out to reach the fenders. The standard Ford continued to use the grille of the 1939 model with blackout on each side of the chrome center and bolder headlight surrounds were another tell tale of the changes made from its predecessor. 1940 was the last year of the 1937 design and its smaller V8 engine, with an inline six cylinder to be put back into production the following year. The 1937-1940 generation of Fords is one of the most popular automobiles for making custom hot rods out of and that still stands true to this day. Early stock car drivers also used Fords of this era as one of the most recognized racers amongst all other models. This Ford was also the most recognizable design and style assimilated to dirt track racing. A rich history that has carried through the generations, not many vehicles have the same desire as these do after 70+ years.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this customized version of the 1940 Ford Coupe for your consideration. With a history showing it belonged to the same married couple for the last 20+ years and was used for trips from Michigan to Gatlinburg, TN every year, this vehicle was kept well mechanically and still stands true today! Featuring a great deal of customization from the suicide doors with remote door poppers and safety locks, this vehicle hosts power windows which are fully functioning, a power antenna which works well, cruise control is mounted, A/C blows cold, its classic woodgrain cluster cover from door to door looks excellent with its gold framed gauges and its aftermarket AM/FM/CD media center offers its next owner a broader choice of music in this pre-war classic! The paint and interior were completed many years ago and show age but overall has held together well with all the functionality still intact. The trunk pops with a push of a button underneath the bumper which gives you access to the battery, its chrome tipped exhaust sounds as good as it looks, the valve covers are custom with flames on top and overall this reliable ride is ready to see the road and be enjoyed by its next owners.
