Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is excited to present this beautiful black 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe. This all-steel '40 was found in New Mexico by its previous owner, who brought the car to Cleveland, OH to begin the restoration. Having been a southwestern car stored in the low humidity environment in New Mexico, the body was in superb condition before it was completely disassembled for the build, which was begun in the early 1990's. The project plan was to create a grand tourer under a vintage body; something that's ready to cruise the strip, or drive across the country, and it has achieved its goal! The body was media blasted, prepped for paint, sealed, primed, and painted with a DuPont base coat/clear coat system. The original frame was partially boxed, and a 9" Ford third member was installed. The front suspension consists of a Mustang II front end and K-member, outfitted with polished stainless steel control arms and Ridetech coil-over shocks. A chromed power rack and pinion steering system was added to continue the abundance of chrome (and polished metal) look in the engine bay. Under the hood, in addition to all of chromed and polished goodies, lurks a 355HP GM ZZ4 full-roller 350 CID V8, which is plenty potent to have you zipping right along with the rest of the traffic in short order. A GM 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission backs the big V8 and provides good gear ratios for both acceleration and highway cruising. A set of 3.73:1 gears in the rear end help keep the tach needle down at freeway speeds, yet still provide snappy acceleration. Inside, an attractive mauve interior provides an uncommon, yet very attractive color combination to go with the black and silver exterior motif. The fabric seats are trimmed with synthetic leather, and the fabrics and carpet look nearly unused, which says something about how lovingly-kept this car has been, given that it has traveled just over 13K miles since it was completed, including being driven all the way from Cleveland, OH to southern Louisiana when its current owner purchased it. An Alpine AM/FM/CD Radio (with Bluetooth) supplies the tunes for the occupants, ensuring aural entertainment for both. The driver gets a full set of VDO gauges to keep track of things under hood, and a thick-rimmed LeCarra billet aluminum steering wheel (on top of the helpful tilt column) gives both a nice look and provides secure grip when driving. This gorgeous '40 Ford coupe rides on a set of Michelin all-weather radials (P185/65R15 up front, P235/70R15 out back) that have plenty of tread left on them. The sticky Michelins wrap a set of polished aluminum American Racing mags, and the staggered sizes give it an aggressive street rod stance. Four-wheel disc brakes bring this rod to a stop in a smooth hurry, and the red powder-coated calipers add to the visual excitement. Additional features and options on this slick '40 Ford Deluxe Coupe include cold Air Conditioning, Aluminum Wheels, AM/FM/CD/BT radio, Power Locks (poppers/remote), Power Seats, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Remote Hood and Trunk Releases, Seat Belts, Tilt Steering Wheel, and Vinyl/Cloth Interior.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
