Vehicle Description
The 1940 Ford 2-door sedan scene is a little different than many of
the others out there. While some car lovers strive to have a cool
hot rod exterior, and others provide a comfortable interior,
customs like this are about providing both...and this one
represents it perfectly with it's slick exterior, A/C interior, and
small block V8 feeding an overdrive transmission.
The Tudor fastback body is sleek and ideally lends itself to a
lowered and raked stance, without losing any of its backseat
practicality. You're looking at Henry Ford era steel that has been
painstakingly worked, and even given fiberglass rear fenders for
extra flair. Then it was sprayed with a great modern clearcoat with
a two-tone so that the curvaceous presentation has an awesome gloss
in the sunlight. The total package tells you there was serious
investment in time and money. The re-chromed bumpers, grille, and
trim have the kind of shine that shows there's been some real care.
Plus, there's plenty of great timeless hot rod touches from the
blue dot headlights, to the spinner caps on the 15-inch wheels.
This is a very thoughtful custom-built interior, and that's evident
from the moment you step inside. The seats have a kind of plushness
you'd expect from fine home furniture, and the gray cloth with
green piping seen on the door panels is a great coordinating
package with the exterior two-tone. You grab the Lokar shifter with
your right hand, and the left one will love the Lecarra steering
wheel. Beyond that is a full classic-style VDO gauge package. As
you keep gazing across the dash, you'll see more upgrades like the
AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cold air conditioning running modern
R134a.
Since the rest of the car is built to show off, you'll be happy to
see the engine bay is, too. The valve covers, air grabber, and
brackets all have a nice matching etched design and a quality
shine. Beyond flash, there's the substance of a Chevy 350
cubic-inch small block that has been upgraded with pieces like a
Edelbrock 600 CFM four-barrel carburetor and shorty headers feeding
the rumbling dual exhaust. But this custom build also has a
practical side, too. Features like the upgraded independent front
suspension, front disc brakes, power steering, and four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive make this classic a comfortable
highway cruiser. And even if you're stuck in traffic, the aluminum
radiator w/electric fan means this car can stay cool while you've
got the A/C blowing.
A custom appearance wrapped around everyday appeal - that's why you
want this '40 Ford. But you're not the only one who appreciates a
total package, so hurry up and call today!
