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.

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.
