This 1940 Ford Standard, driven 12 miles since its restoration, displays a deep black finish that amplifies its classic prewar styling. The streamlined profile showcases authentic details, including the single taillight and period-correct De Luxe model headlight bezels. The body lines flow from the distinctive front grille to the rear quarters, with the steel body panels displaying expert craftsmanship. The factory's 16-inch steel wheels with original-style hubcaps roll on 6.00-15L tires, giving this Ford its authoritative stance on the road.
The tan cloth interior demonstrates expert attention to detail with factory-correct materials throughout. Brown dash panels anchor the cabin's appearance, complemented by fresh tan bench seating. The column-mounted shifter provides easy gear selection, while the rubber flooring up front and carpeting in the rear maintain the period-specific layout. The gauges and cluster display perfect clarity, and the tight-fitting headliner completes the factory-fresh appearance.
A 221 Flathead V8 pairs with its 3-speed manual transmission, delivering authentic Ford performance. Dual exhaust with glass pack-style mufflers produces a powerful tone. The mechanical package includes drum brakes at all corners, complemented by leaf spring suspension front and rear. The Ford banjo-style rear axle maintains stock specifications, while the clean engine bay showcases proper detailing and tidy wiring.
