'40 Ford Deluxe Convertible Coupe, Flathead V8, 3-Speed, Leather, Hydraulic Top
Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 22nd year in the classic and muscle car business. In 1932 the Ford Motor Company cornered the still embryonic American 'performance' market with the introduction of their V8 engine. Although it was not the first V8, it was mass produced and offered at a price that the average worker could afford. This stalwart engine had been continually improved, so by the time Eugene "Bob" Gregorie penned the beautiful lines for the 1940 Ford, an instant classic was born. This gorgeous Folkstone Gray 1940 Ford DeLuxe Convertible Coupe is a remarkable example of these iconic automobiles. Beneath the graceful hood the smooth 221 ci flathead V8 purrs quietly, aided by a 12-volt conversion. Additional features include a 3-speed manual transmission, leather upholstery, power hydraulic top, a very unusual heater that air flows through the radiator and off the exhaust manifold with a little motor that blows it into the car, oil filter, oil bath air cleaner, grille guard, road lights, outer trim rings, outside mirrors, and 6.00-16 wide whitewall tires. This gem is sharp from every angle and sports good paint, trim, dash, glass, and mats. The top is in excellent condition and works properly. The chassis, although not show-ready, is functionally excellent and provides a supple ride. This is an outstanding, rust-free example of an important prewar classic that can be used and enjoyed without worry. Certainly one of the best-looking 81-year-olds I've seen recently!
