Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery! One does not need to look too close to see that A LOT of time and money went into this build.
The powerplant is the tried and true 350 V8 with some bolt on goodies including a 4 barrel Performer intake, Edelbrock carburetor, new aluminum radiator, and finned valve covers!
Power brakes keep things safe and power steering with the front end most often used on these street rods simply is not necessary. In fact, many who put power steering on a Mustang II style front end regret it because it overboosts the steering and can make for a twitchy steering wheel. With all that V8 power thatâs the last thing you want!
The paint aesthetic is amazing. The black to red fade is incredibly professional and the theme carries from inside to out. Major defects are not present and this vehicle was clearly someoneâs prized possession.
The interior is custom upholstery from top to bottom. The material used appears to be a tweed-like and has a soft canvas feel to it. The color combination is tasteful and you wonât have to worry about leathern burning your skin on those hot summer days! If itâs on the chillier side then you wonât freeze!
The dash has a mostly stock look, but with the custom two-tone paint scheme and Classic Instruments providing an updated gauge cluster. There are also aftermarket pedals to be more ergonomic, power window switches, blinkers, and aback up camera!
This 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery is offered by the St. Louis sales staff and can be seen in full detail on our website. Our listing all include 100+ HD photos and a detailed video!

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.
