Ford Motor Company introduced its DeLuxe Ford line in 1938 as an upscale alternative to bridge the gap between its base model (usually called Standard) and luxury Lincoln offerings. The DeLuxe Fords of 1938 featured a more sloping hood and ornamental heart-shaped grille. This look was passed on to the standard line for 1939, as the DeLuxe Fords gained sharp V-shaped grilles with vertical bars.

The Deluxe name was used intermittently before and after this to specify an upscale trim but the DeLuxe Ford line was differentiated as a separate marque within a marque with separate styling and pricing through 1940. During 1939, Ford had five lines of cars andndash; Ford, DeLuxe Ford, Mercury, Lincoln-Zephyr and Lincoln. Ford made 10,422 Deluxe Convertibles and a total of 487,000 vehicles in 1939.

Competition to this car in 1939 included the Mercury Eight Convertible, the Buick Special Convertible and the Oldsmobile Series 60 Convertible.
