Before there was the Mustang or the Thunderbirdand#44; there was no cooler ways to have V8 power than this 1940 Ford Deluxe convertible. So when you can get your hands on an example thats so correct and completeand#44; you know this is a crowd pleaser. As you look over this convertible take a moment to appreciate what youre really seeing. This Ford is over 75 years oldand#44; which means there has been more than one generation looking after the sheetmetal and investing in the right care and maintenance. The result is a car that looks exactly as it should. It hasnt been chopped or hot rodded. Insteadand#44; the maroon paint has a soft glow that helps it look period-correctand#44; and the tan folding roof fits with the tightness of quality. All the chrome and brightwork trim is complete – from the sweeping side trimand#44; to the Ford badgingand#44; to the wraparound chrome bumpers with stylish endcaps. And on a package this authenticand#44; only two-piece wheels with tall white wall tires will do. The quality continues inside with a richand#44; tan interior that features a front and rear bench seat covered in taut vinyl. The door panels look great with wood grain topping the tan vinyl that features elegant piping. When you slip behind the two-spoke factory wheeland#44; it feels like a time machine. The speedometer and whole dash feel so authenticand#44; it might even be the original factory paint on this layout. Theres a package with more modern oil and water gauges neatly mounted blow the dashand#44; which is an indication that there might be something a little extra under the hood. Theres just something great about the appearance of Fords Flathead V8. The parallel radiator piping gives this motor a very powerful presentation. And this is the larger of the two offerings Ford had at the timeand#44; so the 221 cubic-inch motor is a great feature to have. It has been serviced correctly (including one unconfirmed rebuild) so it starts well and runs with a telltale smoothness. While we know you wont be using this drop top as a hot rodand#44; the column-shifter three-speed manual really lets you understand the full power behind this V8and#44; and it makes every day behind the wheel feel like Sunday. A very correct appearance with Flathead V8 power - this is the classic Ford for the true vintage driver. You know opportunities like this are rareand#44; so hurry up and call today! |
