Ford didn't take long to become one of the most dominating players in the automobile market by 1940, and this 1940 model year Ford Deluxe is the prime example of this very fact. Built for the upper middle class of society, the De Luxe was the first Ford to have an all-steel roof, and it was the 1940 model that first saw the sealed-beam headlights become a reality. It goes without saying this Deluxe has plenty of history to its name. But times move on, and although this particular vehicle might be quite different from what it was when it was straight out of the factory, it is still a great attempt at preserving the charm of Ford in the 1940s. With a rebuilt Chevy engine that has less than 20,000 miles on the clock, this Ford Deluxe is still going strong and now comes with a handful of modern conveniences to make life that much easier too.
The exterior of this particular Deluxe fits the bill with many other Fords that came out of the production line at the time. Featuring the vintage feel of a car from the 1920s, with a design that is visibly evolving into the likes we see in the 1960s with the retro aesthetic, this Deluxe has an appearance that appeals to elements of both eras. The black exterior is a classic choice, and the minimal badging and branding is a welcome piece of tasteful exterior design. The long swooping lines and spacious body of the Deluxe create an unmistakable silhouette, and with its more modern five-spoke wheels and 9-inch rear end with plenty of chrome to go around, this car is a sight to behold. Climbing inside, you'll find yourself with a distinctly different interior that has undergone some changes. The passengers now have bucket seats, cup holders, and a new stereo system with a CD player, according to the current owner. There are even power windows installed as an upgrade for further convenience.
With a rebuilt 350ci Chevrolet engine paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, this Ford Deluxe has plenty of pep in its step. In addition, the car has undergone a recent tune-up according to the current owner. An oil change has also been recently done, according to the current owner, and if you were worried about handling, rest assured that the new KYB shocks and struts, new brake pads, front disk brakes, and rear drum brakes are more than adequate.
While the early 1940s were a turbulent time for the U.S. and the rest of the world, some stunning cars were produced during the period. This era of cars is characterized by their streamlined and more aerodynamic looks while retaining separate fenders and plenty of chrome. Design was king, and the sought-after Ford Convertibles are known for their good looks and ever-increasing value among collectors. Our featured car is a 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible that has undergone an extensive restoration. The current owner reports that this vintage car has even scored a 98 grade out of 100 for the restoration work that was carried out. The owner also reports that the car has won many awards at classic car shows.

The original Ford Bronco is always a popular classic here at Exotic Car Trader, and for good reason. The Bronco combined good looks with amazing off-road performance and has developed a cult following. But we’d wager you haven’t seen a Bronco quite like this: Say hello to the 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco by Zero Labs. As the name implies, it’s what we like to call an “electromod.” That is, the original drivetrain has been swapped out for an all-electric one! This 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco features two electric motors—one for each axle—giving it four-wheel drive and a range of over 235 miles. To keep up with the upgraded drivetrain, the rest of the vehicle has been meticulously restored, with new parts installed and an upgraded interior while retaining the classic looks of the original car.
While Shelby’s hugely celebrated association with the Ford Mustang is known to everyone, what happens when the famed tuning company turns its attention to something a bit different? Predictably, it was a roaring success, not least because Shelby American focused on doing what it does best—making iconic Fords just that much more special. With the Ford F-150, Shelby went the extra mile with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that produces a mind-bending 770 hp. If that’s not impressive enough, wait until you delve into the performance specifics of this incredible machine.
If there’s one thing the classic Ford Bronco community is known for, it's their diverse aftermarket community. From concourse-level restorations to LS-swapped restomods, we’ve seen them all — and that includes several EV conversions, too. So it’s good to see the same custom spirit being kept alive with the modern reincarnation of the Ford Bronco nameplate. This 2023 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4x4 is the perfect example, having been extensively modified by the team at SoFlo Jeeps. SoFlo Jeeps’ extensive customization work features their signature Kevlar armor coating. You’ll also find upgrades to many exterior and interior areas, while this 5,300-mile-old Ford Bronco also sports a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.
If you’re in the market for a pre-war American hot rod, the chances are you’ll have seen multitudes of Fords on the market. The Blue Oval is by far the most popular choice when it comes to crazy builds, even if many of them don’t always sport a Ford motor. This 1935 Chevrolet Vicky is here to readdress the balance. Like the Ford options, it ticks the usual hot rodder checkboxes: fiberglass body? Check. Chopped roof? Check. Custom rims? Check. Big V8 powerplant? Check. Our featured car is more than just a car at this point. It’s a work of art. And, it could be yours, with just 6,500 miles reported running on the new engine.
In the realm of car customization, the philosophy of "more" doesn't always equate to "better." A multitude of options exists for exterior, interior, and performance modifications, yet it's the delicate balance of these elements that culminates in a custom project perfected. If you're in search of a project that turns heads without veering into excess, feast your eyes on this 1941 Willys Americar Coupe Pro Street Hot Rod build showcased today.
For those in search of thrills, the 1923 Ford T-Bucket presents an unparalleled opportunity. Far from being a standard kit car, this vehicle is built upon an authentic 1923 Ford chassis and boasts a title from the same year. Recently updated with a new EDM and with just 640 miles on the odometer, this vehicle challenges classification—is it a hot rod, a restomod, or something else entirely? One thing is certain: driving this T-Bucket guarantees more attention than any Ferrari, Lamborghini, or other exotic cars could ever muster.
