Experience a piece of automotive history with this classic 1940 Ford Convertible Deluxe. This iconic two door model is immediately recognizable by its distinctive heart shaped grille, a streamlined body with gracefully curved fenders, and sealed beam headlights integrated directly into the bodywork.

​

The exterior styling boasts a sleeker, more streamlined profile than previous years, showing an early awareness of aerodynamics. The prominent heart shaped grille serves as an elegant focal point, while curved fenders blend smoothly into the body to create a flowing, integrated look. Abundant chrome trim on the bumpers, hubcaps, and headlight surrounds highlights the car's timeless design.

​

Inside, the handsome Maroon and Tan interior is both stylish and functional. The dashboard features a horizontal 100 mph speedometer, complemented by gauges for fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, and battery charge. A two spoke steering wheel displays the "Ford De Luxe" script in its center. A significant update for this model year was the relocation of the three speed manual transmission shifter from the floor to the steering column, a feature famously known as "three on the tree." This example is also equipped with desirable period options, including a radio, a heater, and an analog clock for the passenger.

​

Under the hood, the car is powered by its legendary 221 cubic inch Flathead V8 engine, paired with the three speed manual transmission.
