1940 FORD DELUXE SEDAN.
1940 FORD DELUXE SEDAN. 221 CI, 3-SPEED. (Drool, drool!) More photos via Mecum Auctions at http://bit.ly/1P2UKCx. (Drool!)
"Smooth contours, Art Deco touches and a distinctly aggressive visage have made the 1940 Ford a styling landmark that lives on in examples like this attractive Maroon 2-door Deluxe sedan, which is well turned out with a unique split back window, chrome bumpers and extensions, a front grille guard, fog lights, chromed hub caps and trim rings and wide Whitewall tires. Other preferred features include a 221 CI flathead V-8 and 3-speed column-shift manual transmission, trunk-mounted spare tire and nice Art Deco interior with clock and heater."

Would love that one in our garage! Wonderful interior!
ReplyDeleteToo cool! Love the trumpets for the horn in the last photo. Well, those and a number of other things.
ReplyDeleteDuring WWII in China, my father was stationed there in the Southern interior. He came across a Brand New 1942 Ford sedan. It was owned by one of the chieftains of the area, and had been transported by raft, upriver for most of its trip to China.
