1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible
Ford introduced the Deluxe line as an upscale model to bridge the gap between the Standard version and Lincolns more expensive offerings. There were various differences between the two including different grill designs, different trim, different bumpers, chrome headlight trim, different gauges, cowl mounted wipers and more. This 1940 Ford Deluxe is a great looking car and is a convertible which is more desirable. It is an older restoration but has clearly been well cared for since it was completed and has belonged to the same owner for 30+ years. He is no longer taking the car out regularly so it is time to find it a good home where it can be driven and enjoyed. It has nice Red paint combined with a Beige convertible top, both of which are in great shape. The iconic 3 piece grill is nicely mounted up front and looks great. It wears its original style bumpers which are nicely chromed. All of the chrome and trim for that matter is neatly mounted in place and has a great shine. The glass is all good and it has the two piece windshield. The convertible rear window is glass as well. The lights all work properly and the stock style rear taillights have the old school Blue dots. They are not currently in place but the car comes with a set of rear fender skirts painted in a Maroon color. The Red painted steel wheels look great and feature beauty rings and "Ford Deluxe" center caps. The tires are Firestone wide whites which look perfect on a car like this.
Pop open the hood and you will see this car is powered by a Flathead V8 which runs great! It doesn't smoke and the car drives down the road really well. That is then paired with a 3 speed on the column that shifts smoothly. The car has been kept mostly stock and everything works with no issues. It is still a 6 volt system but cranks up nicely and the battery is brand new.
Inside the car it is done in all Brown leather that is in excellent shape. The floor mats, door panels, and bench seats all look really good. The dash is all nicely painted and has all of its original style gauges, knobs, clock, trim, push button start, etc. The 2 spoke wheel sits in front of the driver and is the original wheel. The trunk of the car has a nice mat and gives you a ton of storage space for all your car show gear.
This is a super nice example of a stock Deluxe Convertible and is in great condition overall. It has a good clear title and also comes with a nice fitted California car cover, a boot for the convertible top, a service manual, and a 6 volt trickle charger.
This beautiful car could be yours for $62,500.00!
This car is located in Jackson, TX.
