Ford Coupe Deluxe 350 CI 1940

General description : This 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe is feels like it has a story to tell. It has a swoopy style, lacquer paint, and a small block V8, and so it feels a bit like the base of a hot rod that was frozen in time.
There's something going on with this coupe. The red paint is a later application done in classic lacquer. It has aged-in to have a true classic look. So it makes you think was someone was maybe working on a bold red for a street machine. Even the suspension is lowered a bit. But this certainly has not been altered drastically in any way yet. So we really like how this one just looks like it has a history to tell without sacrificing any of the stock body details. However, you may just be looking at this and thinking about making it into either a great classic cruiser or maybe going to a full-on hot rod. That's the kind of things a value price like this does. After all, the has all the best design elements of the pre-war era. Ford's sharply-pointed V chrome grille, teardrop headlight bezels, swoopy fenders, two-piece wheel trim w/whitewalls, and the long trunk silhouette of a business-style coupe. So these always stay in-demand.
The interior is just the best in pure classic style. So you'll love the details, like the striped cloth on the seats that have the ribbed pattern in the middle that matches the door panels. And the headliner is particularly nice in this one. You'll slip behind the classic dual-spoke steering wheel and really feel the vintage vibe from the sharp and classic full package. Plus, fans of the Deluxe Coupe also know that only the right few cars correctly get the jump seats in the rear.
Under the hood is more of that hint of modification. After all, there's now a Chevy powerhouse in this Ford. It hasn't been done to full moonshiner hot rod standards, but we just know some of you understand just how easy it is to really increase the power of a 350 cubic-inch V8. Regardless, today it makes for a nice upgrade just because it's a fresher powerhouse that offers worthwhile features like an alternator. And features like the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission and stock Ford suspension make sure this one still feels like a true classic out on the road.
This all-steel '40 Ford Deluxe has a ton of appeal today, and the right value to get it ready for whatever you want to do tomorrow. Call today!!!

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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
