CLASSIC FORD GARAGE
1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe
Good original car with one repaint. One of the most solid 40s we
have seen. It has all the original body panels, flat head V8, and
driveline. Won AACA national first prize junior division 1993. Most
early Ford V8s were rated at 85 H.P. They were not overly powerful
but pulled there weight very well. The sweetest part of the early
V8s was to hear how quiet they would run and how smooth they
were. Nothing today is any better. By 1940, Ford had produced over
6 million V8s since 1932. Ford made several improvements in 1940,
including moving the shifter from the floor to the column, moving the
wipers from the top of the windshield to the bottom, adding a front
sway bar, and adding sealed beam headlamps. Ford offered six
colors in 1940. This was five more than he offered in the early days
when he said you could have any color you want as long as it was
black. These coupes were around $800 new.
