This cars previous owner was an avid Ford collector and this example was part of his collection.Dressed in Florentine Blue, this top of the line Super Deluxe's paint and trim are in overall very good order, with just a few minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The cars windows are in very good condition, as are its lights, although the drivers side turn signal shows some moisture leakage. This classic Ford droptop rides on new Firestone Deluxe Champion wide whitewall tires, size 6.00-16, and surrounding factory chrome wheels with body-colored beauty rings.All of the cars body panels are solid and straight, including the black cloth convertible top with its correct black window and matching boot, black running boards and its chrome bumpers. Its trunk is in great shape and includes a full-size spare tire. The engine bay is quite tidy and the battery appears new.Under the hood is Fords famous Flathead V-8 engine, mated to a three-speed manual transmission and backed by a 3.78:1 rear end.Inside, the cars genuine red leather interior is quite a striking contrast to the Florentine Blue exterior. The seats are in overall very good order with very minor flaws, while the red carpet is in good shape. The red metal instrument panel, with its beige trim, is in very good condition, however the wipers are inoperable. The two-spoke steering wheel is in good order while the inner door panels and mirror glass are in very good order. This model has the optional cabin heater, the shift lever is in good order and the car is a radio delete model.Fords for 1941 were much more modern with a body that nearly covered therunning boards. The front and rear fenders were still pronounced, but were now integrated more into the body and the headlights were pushed all the way up and out over the front wheels. The grille was a three-part affair with a tall center section bookended by twin kidneys low on the fenders and vertical bars all around. Body styles included two-door and four-door sedans, a sedan coupe, a business coupe and convertible coupe, sedan delivery wagon and woody station wagon.The 1941 design would continue in an aborted 1942 model year and would be restarted in 1946 and produced until the more modern1949 Fordswere ready. During the initial year of this car, it evolved considerably. The front fenders came in three pieces, the theory being that small damage could be replaced easily. The 1941 convertible had no rear side windows, the only side windows being in the doors. This is thought to be the first Ford to offer an oil filter. The two interior heaters were a "Southwind" gasoline burner, which had the advantage of keeping one warm in winter at drive-in movies (provided a small electric fuel pump was used), and a more ordinary hot-water type. Both had window defrosters. Electric windshield wipers were available in addition to the vacuum-powered wipers. Three different convertible power top mechanisms (vacuum, electric screw and hydraulic) and two different header bar latching systems were used. Rear suspensions sometimes had a sway bar; most did not. It had excellent brakes for the time and the best handling of an ordinary car at the time. It was a very transitional car.The two previous Ford car lines, Standard and De Luxe, blossomed into three, Special, De Luxe and Super De Luxe. The popular 221CID V8 remained as the top-line engine and was standard in De Luxe models. The chassis was longer, with a 114-inch wheelbase.The "ignition key" for these cars was actually used to operate a bolt lock, which, on one end, unlocked the steering column (a feature destined to return, mandated, decades later), and on the other end unblocked the ignition switch, allowing it to be operated. Starting the car was then accomplished by pressing apushbuttonon the dashboard, another feature destined to return with the advent of "smart keys."Although startingcrankshad been replaced byelectric startersdecades ago, Ford cars included a manual starting feature as anantidoteto dead-battery syndrome. The wheel-lug wrenchserved as a handle (also for thejack) and the jack shaft withbayonet-coupling pins could be inserted through a small hole in the grille to engage a bayonet socket on the forward end of the enginecrankshaft. A quick-and-easy twist of the handle was sufficient to start theFlathead V8 and the bayonet coupling was self-disengaging for safety.Competition to this car in 1941 included Buicks Series 50 Super Convertible, DeSotos Custom Convertible Club Coupe, Hudsons Super Six Convertible Brougham, Mercurys Sportsman Convertible and Oldsmobiles Custom 8 Cruiser Convertible Coupe.This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.

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
