With its Jade Green Metallic exterior, this coupe maintains its pure Art-Deco styling, offering an aerodynamically rounded look that stands the test of time.
Exterior Features
Resplendent in Jade Green Metallic paint, this all-steel Ford Deluxe boasts straight, smooth panels that exude opulence and sophistication.

The steering is graced by a white rimmed 3-spoke wheel, and a modern touch is added with an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette player.

Adding to its dynamic performance is a 3-speed manual transmission sourced from a 1936 Lincoln Zephyr, working in tandem with a sturdy Ford 8-inch rear axle.
