Ford Coupe 350 CID Pontiac 4BBL V8 1940
General description :
For sale in our Detroit Showroom is this beautiful 1940 Ford Coupe. The Ford Standard was first introduced in 1937 and was produced for only 4 model years ending in 1940. This very desireable generation of Ford coupes with its stunning body lines, and full fenders is one of the most popular vehicles for “Hot-Rodding” still to this day. This 1940 Ford is a great cruiser having plenty of power with the 350 cubic inch Pontiac V8 and is very fun to drive with the GM 200R transmission that has overdrive and operates flawlessly which is no surprise with this coupe having less than 8,000 miles since it was fully restored. The color combination couldn’t be any better a high gloss custom three stage paint finish with Copper Penny, Jade Green, and Maroon laid down over an all steel body is perfectly offset by the brilliant chrome trim, bumpers, and grille and the cream and beige interior compliments the exterior very well. As you sit in the driver’s seat you will notice that the beautiful cream interior has been re-upholstered and restored throughout having Ford Mustang Recaro fold down bucket seats, power windows, custom stereo system, and the matching finished trunk area completes the look. This 1940 Ford is a pleasure to drive and is ready to cruise in comfort and style with the Mustang II front suspension, power brakes, and air conditioning.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
