Ford Super Deluxe 221 Flathead V8 1941

Allmän beskrivning : HIGH QUALITY RESTORATION! 221 FLAT HEAD, BELIEVED 52K ORIG MILES, DRIVES GREAT!

It's beyond rare to come across any vintage car that's logged only about 50,000 miles in its lifetime, let alone one that debuted more than seven decades ago. It seems as if, while the world was about descend into chaos, this 1941 Ford Super Deluxe was ushered into protective shelter, only to emerge now with an undeniably magnetic exterior and a full complement of period-appropriate components on board.
Ford had a pretty good idea that the world's events could hamper production at any moment, so they rushed to update their pre-War line, realizing that it could very likely have to satisfy the car buying public for quite a while. The result was a very stylish and spacious ride - as you can see from this '41 -one that exuded luxury and the notion that the lucky person behind the wheel was doing pretty darned well in life. It's dressed in a blue metallic paint that's a very fitting update, as it's a deep, dark shade that really reinforces all that grandeur Ford was going for when they embarked on their redesign. There's quite a collection of clean chrome on display - an outstanding, three-part front grille that sits over an inspired front bumper, long stretches of trim on its sides and an equally sharp and sturdy bumper in back. The relatively compact running boards sport fresh-looking rubber and you'll find new-looking weatherstripping surrounding the windows to keep the elements out.
The gray interior has been refurbished with a very era-appropriate look and shows a lot of craftsmanship, with bench seats that feature a lot of padding to make them plenty comfortable for even longer drives, and are flanked by very sharp looking door panels bearing handles that all appear to be in very nice condition. The dash area sitting just beyond the stock steering wheel looks absolutely killer - it's an expanse of smooth blue steel that's accented with an ivory colored insert featuring an instrument cluster whose gauges are laid out horizontal and remain easily readable, with an array of matching control knobs just underneath. The stock AM radio sits a little higher up, encased in a matching ivory-colored frame, and a modern AM/FM/CD player sits out of sight in the glove box to handle your daily audio needs. There's plenty of space in the broad trunk area, with a full-size factory spare standing by in its proper upright position.
The 221-cubic inch flathead V8 sitting underneath the tapered hood was Ford's top tier engine option when this sedan came out and, armed with a 2-barrel carb on top that sits underneath a compact air cleaner, it runs smooth and strong. Its manual choke is very well calibrated - this vintage sedan warms up properly in very short order. It's joined by a 3-speed manual transmission to make up an entirely period-appropriate drivetrain that's fully road-ready. A couple of Ford's pre-War upgrades include more precise steering and stouter drum brakes that made its Deluxe line some of the best handling and stopping unmodified cars of its time. The undercarriage below underscores the notion that this was one very sturdily built car. A substantially-sized X brace is joined by a series of horizontal supports to make this sedan unusually rigid for its time.
Kept out of harm's way and benefitting from a thorough restoration, this 1941 Ford Super Deluxe stands ready to offer proper bragging rights for its next lucky owner. Call today!

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.
