1940 Ford Deluxe flathead V8. 2 Door Convertible
he '40 Ford Deluxe was designed by Eugene Gregorie and Mr. Gregorie's design is surely iconic. Serving as a bridge between Ford's Standard base model and its top of the line Lincolns, the Deluxe featured elevated trim which gave it a more elevated look and feel. The conservative Art Deco influenced design on the Deluxe was more streamlined than previous year Fords and the unique grille design made it one of the most beautiful American cars of all time. This particular Ford was owned by the same owner from '76 through 2019 and the ground up restoration was completed under his ownership. Based on the overall quality and condition of this Deluxe Convertible, it is clear that he meticulously cared for this car. Under the hood on this classic Ford is Ford's famous 24-stud 221 Cubic Inch Flathead V8 engine, otherwise known as the Ford Flatty, that along with the Single 2 Barrel Downdraft Carburetor under an oil bath air cleaner pushed out a whopping 85 horsepower in its day. The Flatty is mated up to a 3 Speed Manual Transmission that features a column mounted shifter, marking the first time in Ford's history that Fords had a "3 on the tree" shifter as opposed to the floor mounted shifters in previous year models. The chrome and brightwork on this '40 Deluxe is stellar.
