Starting in 1938, Ford began an effort to distinguish its Standard
and Deluxe models. While the Standard models were built with 1937
front sheet metal, Deluxe models received new, updated front-end
styling. They were distinctively designed with a new heart-shaped
grille that flows over the crown of the fender catwalks and
continues after a short break in similarly delicate finned
side-vents. Deluxe models also benefited from the addition of dual
windshield wipers, walnut wood-grain window moldings and dash
panels, a "banjo" steering wheel, a vanity mirror in the sunvisor
and a locking glove-compartment door with a factory clock. These
Deluxe features are seen on this car.
This Ford coupe is equipped with a flathead V-8 engine, manual
transmission, amber foglamps, blue-dot tail lamps, optional fender
skirts, wheel dress-up rings, whitewall tires and cabin heater. The
owner reports that this stunning Ford has been sympathetically
maintained, but never restored. This has been highlighted by the
several magazines that the car has been featured in. Copies of
these magazines are included with the car.
