Ford Sedan LT1 1940

General description : 1940 Ford Sedan The 40 Ford has to have one of the greatest looking front ends ever designed and this cool Sedan is no exception.  These cars make the perfect start for a Street Rod which is the style this one is done in.  The body is all steel and free of any rust issues.  It is painted in a Burgundy color and has very nicely laid down hot rod flames running down the front end.  They are kind of a ghost flame style as they transition from a similar Burgundy color on the nose to a progressively light color the further they go back.  The exterior has a nice clean look with the door handles and most of the larger trim pieces being shaved off.  It does still have the chrome grill, chrome headlight bezels, front dual piece window trim, taillight trim and rear bumper giving it just enough shiny accents.  The rear taillights have been upgraded to LEDs and has that classic blue dot all old hotrodders and motorcycle enthusiasts will recognize.  Being a sedan gives the car a long sloping roofline which gives it a great side profile.  It also has the split rear window setup which a long with the shaved deck lid gives it a cool look when you are following it down the road.  The car has a really nice stance and the custom Centerline wheels suit it nicely. Turning those wheels is the LT1 under the hood that provides that nice touch of modern performance and reliability which is always nice to have.  There are a lot of 40 Fords out there that you wouldn't really want to take on long cruises but with that modern motor this one should handle it no problem.  The engine compartment has a show ready look with braided lines, a polished out radiator, painted to match firewall and inner fenders.  The transmission is a 700R4 which shifts smoothly and in back is a Ford 9 inch rear end.  Disc brakes have been added up front and the power brake booster relocated to under the car to allow for additional room for the motor.  Other nice features include the power steering, Mustang II style front end, great sounding dual exhaust, and stainless gas tank.    The interior is completed in a very nice two tone light and dark Grey upholstery.  It has aftermarket high back bucket seats in front and a bench in the rear.  In between the front seats is a custom built center console which houses the Lokar shifter, 2 cupholders and a little extra storage space.  The dash is painted to match the body and wears the stock center trim piece.  Above that is the aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette player and below the underdash AC unit.  It also has two inset vents on each side of the dash.  The gauges have been changed out for Dakota Digital gauges in a custom brushed aluminum style bezel.  In front of the driver sits a painted to match tilt steering column that is topped off with a custom Burgundy leather wrapped steering wheel.  The trunk is nicely upholstered and carpeted as well.  It offers plenty of storage space and is where you will find the gas cap.  There is also a hidden panel which can be removed to gain access to the battery.  This cool 40 Ford is a nicely built car that looks great and is set up to be a great driver.  This car has been SOLD!

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
