1940 Ford Deluxe Sedan
Ford Motor Company introduced its “Deluxe Ford Line” in 1938, as stylish upscale alternatives between base models (referred as Standards) and two luxury Lincoln production vehicles. By the following year, Ford production included and offered five particular car versions: Standard Fords, Deluxe Sedan Fords, Mercury, and its Lincoln and Lincoln-Zephyr models. Also during 1939 into 1940, in association with Murray Corporation of America for Ford, deluxe 4-door “woody” station wagon models appeared as well, exceeding more than 11,000 of those vehicles sold. By the end of 1940, Ford models imposingly accounted for nearly 70% of Ford’s 541,900 production numbers.
What enthusiastic modern buyers won’t often locate these days is a truly pristine Ford Deluxe 4-door Sedan of such updated, outstanding, impressively restored quality, with the all-important reliable drivability. The car doesn’t know “being broke-down at the side of a road.” Imagine enjoying your own exclusive ownership of such an exceptional, incomparable, and completely dependable custom version – indeed a rare pro-built example with room for the whole family or like-minded car buddies in comfort! After reviewing the Sedan photos closely, you’ll obviously understand exceptional/thorough quality.
