In 1937, Ford introduced its latest array of passenger and light commercial vehicles simply named the 1937 Ford. Available in Standard or Deluxe form, what was called the 1937 Ford would in fact continue for four model years before the 1941 Ford took over. A slew of body styles was offered, including two-door coupe and convertible, two-door one-ton pickup truck, two or four-door sedan, two or four-door station wagon (the Woodie), and two-door van. Incremental upgrades and facelifts were introduced each year. What we’ve got for you here is a 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible from Connecticut that’s actually a tasteful resto-mod, combining the vintage styling with some modern conveniences. It’s done just 16,500 miles and awaits its next lucky owner.
Thirties Fords came with characteristic styling that can’t be mistaken for any other. 1939 saw the lowering of the front grille for the Deluxe trim, whilst the Standard trim retained the higher front grille of 1937 and 1938. This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible looks stunning in its Metallic Silver paint job and rolls on a set of chromed Boyd alloy wheels. The body is reportedly all-steel with original panels and sits on a ‘Fat Man’ chassis. You’ve also probably noticed that it cuts a lower and meaner stance, due to the suspension upgrades described in the next section. The convertible top is in a contrasting shade of black. The interior sports a light gray color scheme and seats two people on gray leather-trimmed seats under the convertible top, while a further two can be accommodated in the exposed ‘rumble seat’ which is situated at the rear where the trunk would be. These seating options give this vehicle a seating capacity of up to 6. The dash in this resto-mod is from a 1956 Oldsmobile, and it’s endowed with digital instrumentation from Dakota Digital, as well as Vintage Air AC and heating.
When new, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible will have sported a 221ci Ford ‘Flathead’ V8 and three-speed, sliding-mesh manual transmission, but this resto-mod has seen the powertrain replaced with a Chevrolet ZZ4 350ci crate motor driving the rear wheels via a 700R4 Turbo-Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission and 8-inch Ford rear end. While the original Flathead put out 85hp, the crate motor kicks out a much more substantial 350hp and sings its song through a Magnaflow exhaust. An MSD ignition, Mallory distributor and an aluminum radiator is also installed, as is power steering and power brakes, with disc brakes upfront. The front suspension with coil-over shocks are from a Ford Mustang II, whilst an Air Ride system with air shocks are present at the rear.

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 owner also reports that the car has won many awards at classic car shows.
A first-generation Mustang is a fantastic way to get into collecting classic cars or dip your toes into the waters and see if the temperature is right. The first-generation Mustang sold by the bucketload and was one of the hottest cars in America during the sixties. As time passed by and newer generations came out, the first one never lost its appeal. In fact, it gained more and more appeal and is now firmly recognized as an iconic classic representing American automotive culture. That’s why we’re confident that this 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible will catch many eyes. The car comes to you with just 20,000 miles after an engine rebuild and reportedly sports stock parts. If it appeals to you, best act fast.
Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.
The Ford Bronco was recently reborn to compete with the likes of the Jeep Wrangler. And it’s already a hit for the Blue Oval, with many users appreciating the reborn SUV for its old-school approach to off-road sensibilities. But the Bronco nameplate is one that originated decades ago, with a thriving aftermarket industry supporting the original line of 4x4s from Ford. That’s exactly what our featured 1977 Ford Bronco Restomod represents. It takes the original formula and builds upon it, bringing this truck into the modern age. As such, it has been completely rewired, has upgraded mod-cons, and features an all-new fiberglass tub. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, with a 302ci V8 Boss Crate engine providing phenomenal power for this stunning restomodded SUV.
