Ford Tudor 350 CID V8 1940
General description :
For sale in the Chicago showroom is this beautifully built 1940 Ford Tudor Sedan. Built on an Art Morrison chassis, this '40 has been chopped 2.5 inches and lowered by 1". The body is smooth and straight and sports a snappy bright red paint job which really shimmers in any light. Contrasting the bright paint very well are the chrome hubcaps wrapped in wide whites. This wheel/tire combo really gives a classic look that any hot-rodder can appreciate. Under the hood is a healthy 350 cubic-inch V8 dressed in chrome from top to bottom. Despite the tight quarters under the hood, they've managed to cram air conditioning in there to keep the cabins occupants all as cool this car looks. Other goodies include a Mustang II style front end with rack and pinion steering, power steering, and power brakes. Inside you'll find beautiful custom tan upholstery which gives this rod a real upscale feel. Dolphin gauges, a Lokar shifter, and a banjo steering wheel complete the control setup. This street rod has just enough custom touches to make it stand out, without detracting from the original beauty of the 1940 Ford. This street rod is the perfect car show cruiser, or even a great road trip vehicle.

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.
