Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this resto-modded 1940 Ford Tudor. Under the hood is a very rare powerplant. Your eyes don't deceive you, this Ford is powered by a 345 cubic inch DeSoto Hemi V8, believed to be 1 of about 1,950 produced! The Hemi is wearing a pair of 4-bbl carburetors, and the only modification from stock came during a rebuild in 2015 as the addition of a spin-on oil filter. A 3-speed manual transmission sourced from a LaSalle puts the driver in control of the gears, and power is sent to the rear 3.53 open differential. The engine has been in this Ford for a long time, as the current owner purchased the car in the late '50s for only $10, and swapped the engine in themselves! In 1960 he sold the car, only to be reunited with it in 1995. The Ford is painted a beautiful Bright Red Metallic over what is believed to be an all-steel body. If this '40 Ford could talk, it would have decades worth of stories about drag racing, late nights with friends, and car shows galore. Hop in the drivers seat and write the next chapter in the history of this clean '40 Ford.

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.
