This beautiful 1940 Ford Deluxe is one of the most coveted body
styles in the hot rod and street rod communities. These cars have
been getting chopped and channeled since they became popular and
there are very few left that have been untouched which makes this
car even more desirable than most of the others like it. This Ford
Deluxe was part of the collection of the race car driver, Mike
Amalfitano, it was then placed in his museum until he passed away
in 2009. It has underwent a full frame off restoration and was made
to look like a true hot rod from the 50's without cutting up any of
the original metal. The flathead V8 has had Offenhauser finned
aluminum heads put on as well as an Offenhauser dual carb intake
with a set of Stromberg 97 Carburetors topping it all off. After
the combustion chambers, the Fenton headers allow the exhaust fumes
to escape with ease through the free-flowing true dual exhaust that
runs the full length of the car. The electronics run off of a 12
volt system and has had the period correct cloth-wrapped wiring
rerun throughout the car. With the updated electrical system allows
some modern creature comforts to be added like the aftermarket
stereo that is nicely hidden in the glove box. This car is a true
survivor and would make an excellent hot rod for someone looking
for a good cruiser or show car. Jump in this convertible and go for
drive with the top down and leave reality in the rear view. This
vehicle is located in our Milwaukee showroom. You can view this
