1940 Ford 2 Door Sedan

 

History

 

The 1937-1940 generation of Fords is one of the most popular automobiles for hot rodding. Early stock car racing drivers also used Fords of this generation among other cars. This Ford also formed the basis for a style of dirt track racing car.

 

A high flat-topped hood dominated the front look of the 1940 model. as the grille spread out to reach the fenders to differentiate the Deluxe line and the headlights were pushed wider still. The standard Ford inherited the grille of the 1939 model with blackout on each side of a heavy chrome center; heavier headlight surrounds serve as another major differentiator from the 1939. 1940 was the last year of the 1937 design and its smaller V8 engine. with a straight-6 to be reintroduced the following year. Sealed-beam headlights were one of the few major advances for 1940. though a hydraulic top was new on the convertible.

The previous owner of this beautiful Ford bought the car in 2012 from an Illinois man who didn't know a lot about the history of the car. The restoration was completed in 2011. The previous owner replaced the condenser and compressor for the AC. The digital mileage was never set but we were told the car has roughly 1. 00 miles on the restoration.
