In 1937, Ford debuted its update on the popular Model 48. This era is commonly called the 1937 Ford, and it ran between 1937 and 1940. Here, Ford debuted an all-new 136ci V8 at the entry level of the range, but kept the 221ci unit unchanged. The Blue Oval also offered buyers many body styles, including coupes, convertibles, sedans, coupe utilities, station wagons and vans. Furthermore, the 1937 Ford range was also sold in Australia, as well as assembled in Romania and Latvia. Ford sure was going places. Today, cars of this vintage have usually been turned into restomods and hot rods, but it’s not hard to find relatively true-to-stock examples. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe that’s for sale in Oak Hill, Florida right now. It’s got just over 70,000 miles on its 221ci Flathead V8, and comes with a 3-speed manual transmission. We’re also told that the car has been repainted.
Black was an exceedingly popular color for cars sold during or near Wartime, since it massively simplified manufacturing complexity. That’s what this 1939 Ford Deluxe has been repainted in, which explains why it looks so shiny. The car comes with whitewall tires, chromed hubcaps and even yellow fog lamps! We’re also told that there’s a loud air horn on board. The reupholstered interior of this 1939 Ford Deluxe features tan leather seating, the interior retains much of its period-correct fittings and is a nice reminder of how far cars have come in the past nine or so decades. The things that we take for granted today weren’t even conceived in the 1930s, after all. So you won’t find a single touchscreen, digital device, or even air conditioning – that was the preserve of super-luxury cars back then.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 221ci flathead V8, a defining feature of Ford’s late-1930s lineup and a cornerstone of early American performance. Paired with a floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the drivetrain delivers a smooth, mechanical driving experience emblematic of the period. Manual steering and four-wheel drum brakes further reinforce the car’s original character, offering a direct and engaging connection between driver and machine. Overall, this 1939 Ford Deluxe remains a faithful representation of prewar engineering, making it an ideal choice for collectors seeking authenticity and historical significance.
Vintage Fords seem to take two forms these days. Pristinely-restored classics with true to original form, or wacky hot rods that change nearly everything. Today’s 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe straddles the line between these two. On the outside, this nice green classic looks pretty stock. Under the skin and on the inside, though, it’s been tastefully upgraded to make it more pleasant to drive, showcase, and enjoy. Now up for grabs in Carnation, Washington with 24,308 miles on the odometer, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a car from the 1930s with modern features such as a sound system, automatic gearbox and heating.
The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.

Ford’s 1932 line-up comprised three variants, with the Model B offering a more frugal four-cylinder variant to the range. Today’s 1932 Ford Model B 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is as far removed from that mien as possible. It’s a fine custom hot rod job from Port Orange and comes to you in bright red, no less. Gone is the old, wheezy four-cylinder unit and in its place is a proper 350ci V8 from arch-rivals Chevrolet, plus an automatic gearbox. An aftermarket exhaust system is also present, allowing the car to make a statement. On the inside, you’ll find a similarly custom affair, and with just 17,752 miles on the whole thing, this is one curio you really shouldn’t scroll past without considering.
The sky is not the limit when going about restomodding a classic car, and while that does sound like an appealing statement, it is also scary. There are many ways you could go about turning a classic that has weathered years of existence into something that can truly take away from what it is, into something that is unrecognisable. There is a rare occasion that a restomod is done right, and we have one of those instances taking shape with this 1956 Ford F-100 Restomod.

DeSoto is an American brand that you’ve likely never heard of, especially if you were born in the 1970s or later. Formed in 1912, it subsequently became a Chrysler Corporation marque, and was seen up to 1961. Based in Auburn, Indiana, DeSoto was known for creating well-built automobiles, as well as trucks. Today, we have a 1931 DeSoto S-13 for sale from Upland, California. This 109,000-mile vintage car comes with a 6-cylinder engine, a stick shift, and the owner’s manual as well.
