1940 Ford - Sedan

Product Details

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-six engine to be reintroduced the following year. Sealed-beam headlights were one of the few major advances for 1940, while a hydraulic top was new on the convertible. The current owner of this vehicle has owned it for just over 19 years and has maintained it meticulously. Some key upgrades and repairs include; a fully rebuilt engine in 2017 (H&H flathead), front disc brakes, tube shocks, Panhard bar drop axle, posit springs, electric fan, newer wheels / tires, full flow oil system, new clutch, newer Optima battery, newer carb, newer manifold, full exhaust, headers, adj. lifters, newer radiator, aftermarket interior gauges, 12v system, newer alternator and much more. Lots of receipts and miscellaneous documentation will come along with the vehicle showing many of the small and big upgrades and repairs. This is a solid running car and goes down the road smoothly, the freshly rebuilt 239ci v8 cranks right over and runs just like it did when it rolled off of the assembly line, the 3-speed manual transmission that it's paired to shifts smoothly and is strong in every gear.
