BlueExperience the timeless elegance of the 1940 Ford Deluxe Sedan, a vehicle that captures the essence of classic automotive craftsmanship. This noteworthy piece of automotive history has been meticulously restored to modern standards, ensuring both classic charm and contemporary reliability.
The heart of this classic beauty is a pro-built GM “heartbeat” 305 injected small block engine with less than 2,000 miles since its comprehensive rebuild. The performance is further enhanced by an exhaust system with a stainless steel muffler. A modern electric thermostat and a 3000 CFM pusher fan, ensuring optimal performance and cooling during drives, power the engine alongside a serpentine belt system.
This Deluxe Sedan comes equipped with a 700R4 conversion automatic transmission and features a rear-drive configuration with a 9″ Ford differential and 355-gearing, supported by precision leaf springs. It also features a Heidts independent front-end assembly with disk brakes for enhanced control and stability.
The exterior is an expertly applied BMW Orient Blue (#317), complemented by conservative traditional pin-striping. The exterior is completed with modern conveniences like electric windows with perfectly fitted light-gray tinted glass, electric windshield wipers, and all-new chrome fittings. The car also showcases classic “frenched” tail lights and a distinctively styled rear bumper.
Step into the bespoke interior featuring custom sand-tan leather front seating and Glyde custom rear leather seats, alongside a molded sand-tan headliner. The interior is completed with color-matched carpeting and a power-opening trunk. For entertainment, a radio and CD player are included, perfect for enjoying those long, memorable drives.
Recognized for its smooth drivability and classic appeal, this Ford Deluxe has accumulated nearly 113,000 road miles in its lifetime but features a fresh spirit with only 2,000 miles post-rebuild. The automobile stands with a clean title and is ready to create new cherished memories for its next proud owner.
