The Model 48 made its debut in 1935 and was a modernized version of the existing Model 40A, Ford’s primary product at the time. The perfect combination of practicality, good looks, and affordability that the Model 48 possessed made it exceedingly successful and boosted Ford ahead of Chevrolet, the company’s main rival at the time, taking the crown for most cars sold that year; 820,000 to be exact. This 1935 Ford Model 48 is the Deluxe trim, and currently resides in Ohio and is one of just 3,187 cars ever produced. What makes it even more exclusive is that this Deluxe is reportedly one of just 30 cars left.
This rare 1935 Ford Deluxe Convertible Sedan has received a complete body-off restoration and now sits proudly in Deer Born Blue—the original color that it first came in. The abundance of chrome that highlights the exterior, such as its massive front grille, front, and rear bumper, along with the head and taillights, has been refinished. This Model 48 convertible is equipped with a beige soft top and sits on a set of whitewall tires. The interior has been reupholstered and restored by Lebanon Bonney Company. The cabin features a perfectly preserved tan interior that includes all trim pieces to look brand new and plush leather seats, along with leather door panels and a beautiful 3-spoke steering wheel that matches the dash panel.
Under the hood of this vintage Deluxe sits a 221ci 3.6L flathead V-8 that sends power to the rear wheels. The naturally aspirated V8 can produce up to 85BHP at 3,800rmp via a 3-speed manual standard transmission.
The 1937 Ford line-up was basically a refresh of Ford’s popular Model 48, and ran for four model years. The range saw new engine choices and some fresh styling but remained more or less mechanically identical in other ways. As time passed on, these cars became classics and then vintage vehicles. They’ve also become rather sought after due to their interesting styling. Some petrolheads buy these to restore to concourse condition, others make them into restomods of varying degrees. If you want a 1937 Ford that’s more or less standard, but with a few modern enhancements, check out this 1940 Ford Deluxe. It’s undergone a frame-off restoration and now sits on a custom frame for better longevity. With a host of improvements, it’s a Forties classic that you can drive on a regular basis.
A classic Ford is a car from a totally different era. Let’s take this 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe as an example. Hailing from the 1937 Ford line-up, its over eighty years old! However, the car doesn’t look it, as it’s been well looked after. It’s also got a newer powerplant under the hood. A little history lesson, the 1937 Ford line-up was basically an updating of the previous Model 48, itself a derivative of the older Model 40. However, the public didn’t mind. They lapped up the cars with eagerness, since Ford had made a name for themselves right from the start when the Model T came into existence at the turn of the century. Today, while few of these cars remain in decent condition, they are highly sought after. You’ll rarely come across one in this condition, so you’d better act quick if you want this car. Let’s discover a bit more about it.
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 fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
The fifth-generation Ford Mustang reinvented itself as a design icon, blending retro cues with a decidedly modern drivetrain. While the 2010 Mustang was available in many potent flavors, one of the most sought after was undeniably the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake. When it was launched, it was the most powerful production Mustang ever made, with a reported 500 hp on tap. The GT500 Mustang was breathed upon by the engineers at Shelby, a company that has had a long association with fast Fords. It featured a supercharged V8 engine and many other performance upgrades. Our featured example takes this one step further with many upgrades, including improved suspension and brakes. Read on to find more!
